Magnesium: Foods
built 650 days ago
Magnesium rich foods -- Green vegetables such as spinach are good sources of magnesium because the center of the chlorophyll molecule (which gives green vegetables their color) contains magnesium. Other foods high in magnesium include legumes (beans and peas), nuts and seeds. Whole, unrefined grains are ... good sources of magnesium. Refined grains are generally low in magnesium. When white flour is refined and processed, the magnesium -rich germ and bran are removed. Dietary magnesium is absorbed in the small intestines.
