It helps prevent the harmful effects of free radicals in the human body. It is a good plant-based source of calcium: 1 tablespoon of 20 g provides 195 mg of calcium, more than half a glass of milk. To replace the calcium from dairy products, different plant-based sources of calcium must be included in the diet.
