From what I've read, apparently Vitamin C helps iron absorb more efficiently. Oranges, lemons, grapefruit, tangerines, cantaloupe, cabbage, tomatoes, potatoes, strawberries, pineapples, and kiwi fruits are all high Vitamin C foods. Some foods, like broccoli, collard and other greens, have both iron and vitamin C.
Hope that helps!
ETA: I just found this web page which breaks down how much iron each person should take based on sex (male or female) and age. It also identifies possible causes for low iron. It provides general info.:
