Calcium-rich foods

The main source of calcium is milk, cheese and yogurt. Canned fish with edible bones, some nuts and a few fruits and vegetables also contain calcium. The amount of calcium found in the plant-based foods like fruits and vegetables is somewhat smaller than that found in dairy foods.
