10 Foods High In Calcium
Calcium Rich Food #3: Cheese
Most, if not all cheese contains an excellent source of calcium. One ounce of hard cheese (i.e. parmesan, cheddar, emmental), the leader of calcium content, contains 330mg of calcium. Start sprinkling that cheese on eggs, salads or tacos.
It is recommended that adults consume up to 1000mg of calcium per day, which would look like one thick slice of cheese weighing approximately 90 grams. Even though this is a tasty way to meet calcium requirements, it is not necessarily the healthiest. Reduced fat varieties of feta, ricotta or cottage cheese might be better options that are still rich in calcium.
