I tend not to drink much milk since I am not big on the taste. I know need more calcium, however calcium supplements are not my thing. I try to eat cheese fairly often however I am quite certain I don't get enough calcium.
Which vegtables are high in calcium (relatively speaking). What about seeds?
Occassionally I will have some almonds as I know they are fairly high in calcium..

Any suggestions for foods, meals or recipes that are high in calcium (no cereal please it is not my thing either)

Thanks

:)

Eat some anchovies. Those are supposed to be super high in calcium. Also, guava juice has a lot in there too.

I switched to orange juice with calcium added. As a senior it pays to get more calcium in my diet.
