So plants have the magnesium we need?

Is there any plants or other foods we could eat that you know of that are rich in Magnesium?

Like they always tell you, green leafy vegetables, for one.
Nuts have alot. And I think certain seafoods are loaded with it.

Time was when many people drank well water of surface-flowing water that had worked it’s way through limestone type formations. I think that helps supplement their mineral needs.

Hard water can have a fair amount of calcium and magnesium, but here where I live in the PNW the water is ultra-soft.
