Calcium from Milk is hard to digest


Calcium Soup (Greens and Grain) 
A traditional European recipe for calcium replenishment is the green and grain soup of barley sprouts and kale.  The barley must be whole, not pearled, in order to sprout.  Vitamins A and C (the tow calcium co-factors that are low in unsprouted seeds) are greatly increased in the sprouting process.  This soup is also suitable for those who are convalescing as a result of chronic health problems.

Ingredients
1 onion, diced
1 cup sprouted whole grain barley (soak barley in water over night)
2 cups of diced kale or a green leafy vegetable of choice
½ fresh lemon, squeezed into juice
sea salt to taste
4 cups of distilled water

Directions
In a stock pot add the onion and sauté in olive oil till the colour is clear. Add the barley and kale and simmer soup for 10 minutes.  Add the lemon and a pinch of sea salt.  Taste and add more sea salt if to lemony and add lemon is the soup is to salty. 
Balance the taste and serve.
