Where do you get your calcium?

I was just asked an interesting question!! Where do I get my calcium!

Well here are just a few foods:

Calcium can be found in raw foods such as carrots, carob flour, green leafy vegetables such as kale, mustard greens, collards, parsley, turnip greens, beet greens, and dandelion greens, for the adventurous. Legumes such as sprouted lentils are also a good raw food source, and fresh string beans give an ample supply of calcium . Nuts such as almonds, filberts, and brazil nuts are an excellent raw food source of calcium . Blackstrap molasses is very high in this important nutrient. One way to consume this is to simply put a tablespoon in a half cup of warm water, and enjoy. Sea vegetables such as arame, dulse, hijiki, kelp, and wakame are also good sources, and add an many other trace minerals as well. Sesame and sunflower seeds are another raw food source of calcium .

For those who enjoy fruits, (and who doesn't?) persimmons, currants, figs, and blackberries, to name a few, also provide a most enjoyable way of getting your calcium .
