How to get calcium from kale. I usually cook kale (remove stems, chop finally, rinse three times more than you'd think necessary, and steam for 10-20 minutes).

Another strategy is to add kale to a potato soup (especially one with miso and a dash of vinegar in the flavoring. Take Calcium at night, this is when your body utilizes Calcium. Take Vitamin C to absorb Iron Greens should be cooked some for better absorbtion.
