3. Tofu

If you are looking for calcium-rich foods that also have a good amount of protein, then tofu is for you. It is plant-based, and you can cook some delicious meals with it.

Over 66% of the DV for calcium may be found in just half a cup (126 grams) of tofu that has been prepared with calcium, which is an extraordinarily high amount.

Soy milk, a plant-based “milk” derived from soybeans, is coagulated to make tofu, and the curds are then formed into blocks. It is comparable to the process of manufacturing cheese, except that cheese is made from dairy milk.

According to research, the calcium that is found in tofu can be absorbed as well as the calcium you get from milk. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Position Paper on Vegetarian Diets says that the amount of calcium absorbed from calcium-set tofu is equivalent to that of cow’s milk at 30%.

Next time you want to eat some calcium-rich foods, try not to skip tofu on your list.
