Get Your Calcium from Greens

Greens contain fiber, beta carotene, and more nutrients than dairy products, with a fraction of the calories. Collards are especially rich in this vital mineral. One cup of cooked collards has as much calcium as a cup of milk, with a savings of 100 calories. Collards and other greens are also rich in magnesium, another key nutrient for bone health.
