Question: are beans high in calcium?
Answer: Beans and lentils are high in fiber, protein and micronutrients. They also boast lots of iron, zinc, folate, magnesium and potassium. Some varieties also have decent amounts of calcium. However, winged beans top the chart — a single cup (172 grams) of cooked wing beans has 244 mg, or 24% of the RDI for calcium (19).
