🔍 Key Insights
1 **Mostly safe territory.** 48 out of 48 foods (100%) in this intersection fall in the safe oxalate range (under 25 mg per serving). That's good news — you have plenty of low-oxalate options here.
2 **Moderate oxalate spread.** Values range from 0 to 24 mg per serving. The lowest is **Seaweed** (0 mg), and the highest is **Legumes** (24 mg).
3 **Low average oxalate.** The mean across all 48 foods is 5.8 mg per serving — solidly in the safe zone. You can build meals around these foods with confidence.
4 **Sodium alert.** 36 foods in this intersection are high in sodium (460+ mg/100g). Excess sodium increases urinary calcium — a known kidney stone risk factor. Check sodium levels alongside oxalate when choosing.
5 **Calcium benefit.** 15 foods (41%) provide 100+ mg calcium per 100g. Dietary calcium binds oxalate in your gut — getting enough calcium from food is actually protective against kidney stones.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean when a food is both Oxalate Safe and High Sodium?
It means the food belongs to both categories — it's a oxalate-safe AND meets the High Sodium criteria. For kidney stone patients, this gives you two angles to evaluate: is this food right for your diet? and whether its sodium level raises concerns. The foods listed below all satisfy both conditions, making this a focused set of 48 items.
Are Oxalate Safe foods that are High Sodium safe for kidney stones?
It depends on the specific food. In this intersection of 48 foods, 48 are rated Safe (under 25 mg/serving), 0 are Caution (25-99 mg/serving), and 0 are Avoid (100+ mg/serving). Browse the food cards below to find the safe options — they're marked with 🟢.
How should I use this Oxalate Safe × High Sodium breakdown?
Filter first by verdict: 🟢 safe foods are suitable for daily eating. For 🟡 caution foods, aim for smaller portions and less frequent consumption. For 🔴 avoid foods, look for lower-oxalate substitutes in the same Oxalate Safe category if possible.
What's the lowest-oxalate {tag_a} in this {tag_b} category?
Hands down, **Seaweed** at 0 mg per serving. It's the safest bet in this intersection, followed by **Salt**, **Salt**, **L-Glutamine**. Build your meals around these and you'll keep oxalate in check.
