Beans can be a low-cost, vegetarian staple in any healthy diet.  Not only are they high in calcium, they also are a wonderful source of protein and fiber.

White beans, canned (1/2 cup) = 96 mgs. calcium
Cowpeas, cooked (1/2 cup) = 106 mgs.
Soybeans, mature, cooked (1/2 cup) = 88 mgs.
Okra, cooked (1/2 cup) = 88 mgs.
