Introduction: It may not occur to many people that besides dairy and soy products, many common green leafy vegetables on the dining table also have significant calcium-supplementing effects.
Data from the "China Food Composition Table" shows that every 100 grams of mustard greens contains as much as 230 milligrams of calcium, while the same amount of milk generally contains 100 milligrams of calcium. Moreover, studies have shown that the absorption rate of calcium from mustard greens is comparable to that of milk. There are many ways to prepare mustard greens, such as stir-frying with shredded pork, making soups, using as a filling, or pickling them as a cold dish. If consumed with tofu, the calcium-supplementing effect will be even better. Besides mustard greens, other calcium-rich vegetables include shepherd's purse, fennel, and amaranth.
