We were taught this in biology and nutrition classes at school in the 80's. I don't know any books though sorry.

citrus with greens (that have iron) is totally essential. i was severely low in iron... it took less than 6 months for my body to totally recoup all the iron it needed from having green smoothies with citrus in them daily.

I Love Spinach blended with water then I add 1/2 cup orange juice. No wonder I feel so good after eating them.

Norman Walker has a few books about fruits and vegetables. That would be a good start. Google, Bing it so you don't have to spend any money.

I was thinking the same thing, Traceyraw! Spinach and orange juice - gotta try!
