What vegetarian foods have a lot of iron in them?

I just found out that I'm a little anemic. So the doctor said that I needed more iron. Someone told me to eat a lot of red meat. Well, I'm a vegetarian, so I can't do that. What kinds of vegetarian foods can I eat that have a lot of iron and tasty? On top of that I've also started taking a daily multivitamin.
Thanks for any answers.

While I was searching around I found this:

Vitamin C enhances iron absorption from plant sources -- drink orange juice with iron-rich foods.

Tea with meals can act as an iron blocker.

Other iron blockers include carbonates, oxalates, and phosphates. Foods that contain these iron blockers include, cranberries, rhubarb, spinach, and soda.

prunes and lentils

Chris just answered your question.... lots of foods huh? :)

Here is a website with some vegetarian foods with iron in them. Also, spinach is a great source of iron and actually has as much iron per serving as beef.

spinach..

spinach, molasses, soy milk, oatmeal, they also have iron pills that you take like a vitamin.

Remember that INTAKE is only 1/2 the equation here...you need to think about ABSORBING the iron. Try to eat high iron foods along with foods high in vitamin C. Your body can only absorb iron if it's not oxidized, and vitamin C is an efficient antioxidant. So, add Mandarin oranges to that spinach salad, or put hummus on a roasted red pepper sandwich. If you resort to an iron supplement, swallow it with a dose of emergen*C, or chew a vitamin C tablet afterwords.

Also, it might take time for your iron levels to rise, as your body needs to create more of the enzyme (ferratin) that carries iron from the GI tract to your bloodstream.

Heres a few veggie friendly options
1. Spinach leaves
2. blackstrap molasses
3. Oysters (if you eat fish ..)
