How can I meet my calcium requirements without dairy products?
To meet your daily calcium requirements as a vegan, you should include enough foods in your diet that are rich in calcium. These include: kale, pak choi, Chinese cabbage, rocket, nettles, broccoli, mineral water, cocoa powder, pistachios, sesame seeds, chia seeds, poppy seeds, flax seeds, almonds, hazelnuts and calcium-enriched soya milk, almond milk, oat milk or tofu. Other beneficial foods include whole grains, pseudograins, legumes, sweet potatoes, leafy vegetables, other nuts and seeds. You should also pay attention to your vitamin D status, as otherwise calcium absorption could be impaired.
