I've a program in german language that allows to sort all items on

Here is calcium.
(I hope you won't mind me not translating everything to english.
If you need a word translation you could try http://dict.leo.org/ )
I delete not-understandable, very concentrated or very unpaleo items.
Left, you see the position ranking per 100g weight.
The value per 1000 kcal i find even more interesting, because
this determines how much of a certain stuff you might be able or
willing
to eat.

Ca:  800 mg is RDA

And i thought banana had so much......

Some seeds are excellent. Particularly sunflower, sesame, flax,
pumpkin.

None of them is a cereal.
Neanderthin forbids cereals -  as i understood it for the frequent
allergy
reactions some of them show (and to my impression this is  for non
allergic
persons right because of the carb. load without vitamins in the many
extracted versions)

Al least Sunflower is a grain that Ray included in his menu-plan.
