As long as your diet contains a wide variety of whole plant foods, your calcium intake should be sufficient. You can get your calcium from a wide variety of foods, especially green leafy vegetables like spinach, collard greens, mustard greens, turnip greens, kale, and bok choy. Another food that contains calcium is tofu. The amount of calcium in tofu depends on the coagulating agent used. Calcium sulfate and nigari (magnesium chloride) are two commonly used agents. Check the label for ingredients. Choosing tofu made with calcium sulfate comes close to doubling the amount of available calcium per serving. If you want to know for sure if your blood levels of calcium are optimal, ask your doctor to draw your blood for a blood calcium test.
