33 Vegetables High in Calcium
Calcium is necessary for the growth and maintenance of strong teeth and bones, nerve signaling, muscle contraction, and secretion of certain hormones and enzymes. A deficiency in calcium can lead to numbness in fingers and toes, muscle cramps, convulsions, lethargy, loss of appetite, and abnormal heart rhythm. Finding calcium in vegetables and fruits is a concern for vegans, or those on a raw food diet. While there is some evidence that oxalates in vegetables can hinder calcium absorption, they are still a good source of calcium, and the calculated daily value (DV) already takes into account absorption and bio-availability. For more, see the section on calcium absorption. The DV (daily value) for calcium is 1000mg. Below is a list of high calcium vegetables, be sure to also see the extended list of calcium rich vegetables, or the articles on high calcium fruits, and high calcium foods.
