Foods high in Calcium (USDA Foundation)

Calcium absorption from food depends on what else you eat at that meal. Phytates in grains and oxalates in leafy greens bind calcium and prevent your gut from taking it in. The numbers in the table below show total calcium, but your body may capture only part of it, depending on what you pair it with.

Dairy products, canned fish with bones, and fortified plant drinks cluster at the top of this ranking. Leafy greens contain calcium in large amounts yet sit lower in actual usable calcium because oxalates interfere with absorption. To meet the 1300 mg Daily Value, most people need multiple sources across the day rather than one single food.

FDA daily value: 1300 mg
