Other green veggies, such as collard greens, mustard greens, spinach,
kale, etc.... are good sources. I read somewhere that collard greens
are the best because they don't contain oxalic acid to interfere with
absorption.
On the sesame seeds, I keep hearing that they are a source of calcium,
but all the sesame product labels I read list no calcium ;-( Too bad,
I'd love an excuse to eat more halvah (a sesame seed based candy).
