A Few Notes on Our Calcium Chart:
  • Most fruits, vegatables, seeds, and nuts contain some amount of calcium, but we have limited our selections to the class leaders.
  • Spinach, Rhubarb, Beet Greens, and Swiss Chard are all very high in calcium. However, due to their very low absorption rates (approximately 5%), we have excluded them from our list.
  • With the exception of Mung Beans, the dried Beans do have a fairly low absorption rate (approximately 17%), so we have limited our selections to those with over 100mg of calcium.
  • For comparison, 1 cup of 2% cow's milk has 297 mg of calcium.
