Calcium Source: Tofu

Calcium Source: Tofu

A great non-dairy source of calcium is tofu. Just one-half cup of firm tofu fortified with calcium has about 20 percent of the daily recommendation for calcium. (Not every tofu is made this way, so look for labels that declare it's a good source of calcium.) Tofu is also a good source of protein and a wonderful addition to any stir-fry.
