Good to the Bone...
We all know dairy is an excellent source of calcium - one glass of nonfat milk contains 299 mg, a third of your daily dose, but it’s not the only one!  Think outside the carton with these surprising options:
Tofu - choose a block made with calcium sulfate (a curdling agent) and you will get 431 mg per quarter cup.
Sardines - this sustainable fish packs 351mg per can, much of which is found in the soft (and completely edible) bones.
Collards - you’ll find nearly 270mg in one cup of cooked greens, plus 7 grams of filling fiber.
