10 Foods High In Calcium
Calcium Rich Food #6: Almonds
Of all the nuts out there, almonds contain the highest amount of calcium. In one ounce or 22 almonds, almonds contain about 8% of the RDI. Topped on a cup of yogurt would be a great option for a calcium rich snack.
Although almonds contain a significant amount of calcium, by government definition, they do not provide enough per serving to qualify as a good source. Some of the calcium in almonds can be chemically blocked from absorption. The Food and Drug Administration defines a good source of nutrients to be about 10 to 19 percent of the daily value.
