🔍 Key Insights
1 **Mostly safe territory.** 67 out of 69 foods (97%) 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 49 mg per serving. The lowest is **Passion Fruit or Granadilla** (0 mg), and the highest is **Herbs and Spices Lemon Myrtle** (49 mg).
3 **Low average oxalate.** The mean across all 69 foods is 4.9 mg per serving — solidly in the safe zone. You can build meals around these foods with confidence.
4 **Sodium alert.** 4 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.** 10 foods (37%) provide 100+ mg calcium per 100g. Dietary calcium binds oxalate in your gut — getting enough calcium from food is actually protective against kidney stones.
