From Delicious living -

"“Many of us grew up believing we had to get calcium through milk,” says Ginny Messina, MPH, RD, author of Vegan for Life (Da Capo, 2011). Surprise: The calcium in kale and collards is twice as bioavailable as that in cows’ milk. Satisfy your 1,000 mg recommended daily calcium intake by eating those calcium-rich greens (but not chard, beet greens, or spinach, which contain other nutrients that diminish calcium absorption) and cruciferous vegetables, such as brussels sprouts and cabbage. More good sources: tofu with calcium sulfate and calcium-fortified nondairy milks; to get enough bone-strengthening vitamin D, look for products fortified with vegan-sourced vitamin D2 rather than D3, which comes from fish oil or lanolin, a byproduct of sheep’s wool."
