One hundred (100) gramme of fresh peas contains 27 grams of calcium. The daily recommendation for calcium is 1,000mg for adults, so it’s not a very high source, but it can help meet daily needs.
Peas are a good source of calcium. This is particularly helpful for vegans and vegetarians that may struggle to meet their calcium requirement due to inadequate dairy consumption.
Peas are not high in calcium. They are high in magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium. The best source of calcium is dairy products.
