To solve this optimization problem, we will use the Gurobi library in Python. The problem involves maximizing an objective function subject to various constraints.

## Step 1: Define the Variables and Objective Function
We start by defining the variables and the objective function. The variables are the quantities of different food items: strips of bacon, bowls of cereal, bananas, oranges, black beans, and knishes.

## Step 2: Define the Constraints
The constraints include limits on the sourness index and milligrams of iron from various combinations of food items. There are also constraints that certain quantities must be integers or can be non-integers.

## Step 3: Implement the Problem in Gurobi
We will implement this problem using Gurobi's Python interface.

```python
import gurobi as gp

# Define the model
m = gp.Model("optimization_problem")

# Define the variables
strips_of_bacon = m.addVar(name="strips_of_bacon", lowBound=0)
bowls_of_cereal = m.addVar(name="bowls_of_cereal", lowBound=0, integrality=gp.GRB.INTEGER)
bananas = m.addVar(name="bananas", lowBound=0)
oranges = m.addVar(name="oranges", lowBound=0, integrality=gp.GRB.INTEGER)
black_beans = m.addVar(name="black_beans", lowBound=0)
knishes = m.addVar(name="knishes", lowBound=0)

# Define the objective function
m.setObjective(5 * strips_of_bacon + 7 * bowls_of_cereal + 9 * bananas + 4 * oranges + 4 * black_beans + 6 * knishes, gp.GRB.MAXIMIZE)

# Define the constraints
# Sourness index constraints
