5 Foods That Quietly Support Bone Health

Check tofu ingredient lists for calcium sulfate to ensure a half-cup serving delivers up to 430 milligrams of calcium.

3. Calcium-Set Tofu

Tofu provides an extraordinary plant-based mineral boost that rivals conventional dairy products. However, the specific coagulating salt used during production determines whether that tofu actively strengthens your bones.

You must verify that the ingredient list explicitly specifies calcium sulfate. A half-cup serving of firm tofu prepared with calcium sulfate delivers between 253 and 430 milligrams of elemental calcium.

Conversely, tofu made exclusively with magnesium chloride or nigari supplies under 100 milligrams per serving. Choosing calcium-set varieties guarantees that you receive between 20% and 33% of your adult Daily Value.

Firm calcium-set tofu absorbs flavorful marinades rapidly and crisps nicely in an air fryer or skillet. Toss pressed tofu cubes into vibrant vegetable stir-fries, or scramble them with turmeric for breakfast.
