Normally, we
believe that the only sources of calcium are milk and its derivatives. But this
is not the case, knowing that there are other sources of calcium of plant
origin. There are cases where these sources provide calcium of easy absorption
compared to that present in milk and its derivatives.
Spinach, green
cabbage of Milan, the onion and the Cresson are vegetables very rich in
calcium, but there are others such as seaweed, cardoons and the broccoli.
The chick
peas, white beans, lentils and soybeans are dried vegetables rich in calcium.
Dried fruits
are also of foods of plant origin rich in calcium. This is the case of walnuts,
almonds and pistachios for example.
Among the
foods of animal origin, there are many sources of calcium. Milk and its
derivatives are not the only sources of calcium, otherwise the more known.
For a long
time, we know that the milk and its derivatives are foods very rich in calcium.
The yoghurt and cheese are examples of derivatives of milk rich in this mineral.
The calcium in eggs
The eggs are a
food present in most regimes around the world. They are very rich in calcium,
but especially in their shell.
Many types of
fish are rich in calcium, like anchovy, sardines, sole or salmon. The
crustaceans also. The lobster and shrimp are for example very rich in calcium.
We must not forget other foods that are rich, as the octopus, mussels, oysters
or combs.
