Which fruits & veggies provide calcium?

Fruits and vegetables are chock-full of vitamins and minerals including calcium – an essential nutrient for many body functions, like building strong bones and keeping your muscles moving. 

The main food sources of calcium are milk and dairy products. There are a variety of fruits and veggies that can help kids, teens, and adults get enough calcium in their diets.

The calcium found in collard greens, kale, broccoli, mustard greens, turnip greens, and dried figs is as bioavailable as the calcium in cow’s milk. This is especially important for the large number of people who are lactose intolerant or avoid dairy products for other reasons.
