QueSeraSera Posted February 24, 2023 #16160 Share Posted February 24, 2023 After this I give up. But it you are concerned about oxalates, I suggest you be aware of the following. Oxalates are not just in kale, and kale is in fact is listed as a way to reduce oxalate ingestion: Foods High in Oxalates (webmd.com) From WebMD, had to smile when I saw tofu at #2 High-Oxalate Foods High-oxalate foods include: 1. Spinach Leafy greens like spinach contain many vitamins and minerals, but they’re also high in oxalates. A half-cup of cooked spinach contains 755 milligrams. 2. Soy products Products made from soybeans are excellent sources of protein and other nutrients, especially for people on a plant-based diet. However, they are also high in oxalates. A 3-ounce serving of firm tofu has 235 milligrams, while 1 cup of soy milk or yogurt can have up to 336 milligrams per serving. 3. Almonds Almonds are concentrated with a range of vitamins and minerals, yet they are also high in oxalates. One ounce of almonds, or about 22 nuts, contains 122 milligrams of oxalates.4. Potatoes A medium baked potato has 97 milligrams of oxalates per serving. Much of this content is in the potato’s skin, which contains high levels of nutrients like fiber, vitamin C, and B vitamins. 5. Beets Beets are an excellent source of nutrients like folate and manganese. Research shows their nitric oxide content helps lower your blood pressure. At 152 milligrams per cup, they’re also one of the vegetables highest in oxalates. 6. Navy beansLegumes are a great way to add protein, fiber, and other nutrients to any meal. However, if you’re managing your oxalate levels, navy beans are on the high end with 76 milligrams per half-cup. 7. Raspberries Many fruits contain some oxalates, like avocados, oranges, and grapefruit, but raspberries are considered a high-oxalate food with 48 milligrams per cup. 8. Dates Dates are highly nutritious dried fruits often used as a sweetener in cooking and baking. Date consumption should be moderated, however, as they are high in sugar and concentrated with oxalates with one date containing 24 milligrams. Here are eight low-oxalate foods you could add to your diet: 1. Kale and bok choy If you’re watching your intake of oxalates, kale and bok choy are nutrient-rich greens with just 2 milligrams and 1 milligram of oxalates per cup, respectively. 2. Cashews, peanuts, and walnuts Compared to almonds, nuts like cashews, peanuts, and walnuts have slightly lower levels of oxalates at about 30 milligrams per ounce. 3. Pumpkin and sunflower seeds One ounce of pumpkin and sunflower seeds contain less than 2 milligrams of oxalates. They’re also a good source of vitamin E, magnesium, and protein. 4. Sweet potatoesYou can swap your baked potato for sweet potatoes, which are higher in most vitamins and minerals and only have 28 milligrams of oxalates per cup. 5. Broccoli Broccoli is a delicious low-oxalate vegetable at just 2 milligrams per cup. It’s also a good source of fiber and protein and contains many important nutrients and vitamins. 6. Kidney beans Kidney beans are a good substitute for navy beans with only 15 milligrams per half-cup. They’re also a rich source of protein and fiber. 7. Blueberries and blackberries Mix other berries in with your raspberries to reduce your oxalate intake. Blueberries and blackberries have only 4 milligrams of oxalates per cup. They’re also rich in antioxidants, which can help prevent diseases such as heart disease and cancer. 8. Dried figs For a sweet fix that’s lower in oxalates, try dried figs, which have one-fifth of the dates’ content. They’re also high in fiber, potassium, iron, and calcium. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my case, I can't enjoy it! Does not mean that you can't. And you're not hearing from folks who agree with you.

Sounds like an appropriate fate for cawl to me. Anyway, doesn't kale mean something different in Wales anyway? Not disparaging anyone else's taste in food (till the above). Just not sure why its ok to be that way about a Southern staple. But I did say I'm done. Eat whatever the H you want, and if anyone disses black eyed peas I'll just go away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still like you, even if not all of us adore kale. But, I love The Black Eyed Peas! I even own one of their albums. They do some great dance music. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
