Will I get enough calcium in a plant-based diet?
Of course. Calcium isn’t produced by animals – it’s a mineral found in the soil and concentrated in certain plant foods, in particular. Plant-based foods naturally rich in calcium are almonds, sesame, soy and its derivatives, most dark green leafy vegetables and others like broccoli and cauliflower.
Plant-based milk and yoghurts are also often fortified with calcium, and contain as much calcium as their dairy counterparts. Check the labels when you buy them! Just make sure you consume plant-based foods containing calcium several times during the day to ensure an adequate calcium intake.
But don't worry, Planter takes the stress out of meeting your calcium needs by including several recipes with calcium-rich, plant-based foods in your daily meal plan.
