Calcium

Calcium is an essential nutrient found in many foods. It is most commonly known for its presence in dairy products like milk, cheese, and yoghurt. However, calcium can also be sourced from plant-based foods such as leafy green vegetables, nuts, and fortified products. This mineral is crucial for building strong bones and teeth, as well as supporting nerve function and muscle health.

In food production, calcium is often added as an ingredient to enhance the nutritional value of products. It can be produced synthetically or derived from natural sources like limestone or seashells. Calcium compounds are used to fortify foods like plant-based milk alternatives, breakfast cereals, and fruit juices.

Food labels often list calcium to show consumers that the product contains this important mineral. It is included to support bone health and overall wellness. You can find calcium in a variety of foods such as tofu, almonds, fortified orange juice, and canned fish with bones. Including calcium-rich foods in your diet can help meet your daily nutrient requirements.
