Calcium in Hazelnuts, an excellent source for vegans

Together with almonds, hazelnuts are one of the plant-based foods richest in calcium, with 230 mg per 100 grams. There’s a baseless myth that claims calcium can only be obtained through dairy... don’t believe it! There are plant-based foods that are just as rich, or even richer, in calcium than milk.
