🔍 Key Insights

1 **Mostly safe territory.** 64 out of 68 foods (94%) 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 **Big oxalate range.** The spread is 0 to 60 mg per serving — a 60 mg difference. Best pick: **Passion Fruit or Granadilla** (0 mg). Most caution needed: **Basil Wraps** (60 mg).

3 **Low average oxalate.** The mean across all 68 foods is 6.4 mg per serving — solidly in the safe zone. You can build meals around these foods with confidence.

4 **Sodium alert.** 7 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.** 30 foods (66%) 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 Vegetables and Herbs & Spices?

This is the overlap zone — foods that are a vegetable AND an herb or spice. Instead of looking at two separate lists, you get one focused set of 68 foods where both conditions are true. It's more efficient than cross-referencing on your own.

Are Vegetables foods that are Herbs & Spices safe for kidney stones?

Safety varies within this group. 68 foods share both tags, but their oxalate levels span from 0 to 60 mg per serving. The safe ones (~94%) are your go-to choices. For the higher-oxalate ones, consider smaller portions or pairing with calcium-rich foods.

How should I use this Vegetables × Herbs & Spices breakdown?

Start by scanning the safe foods (🟢) — these are your staples. Then note which foods are in the caution or avoid zones so you know what to moderate. If you're meal planning, build around the lowest-oxalate options in this intersection and pair them with calcium sources (yogurt, milk, cheese) to blunt oxalate absorption.

What's the lowest-oxalate {tag_a} in this {tag_b} category?

The lowest-oxalate option in this intersection is **Passion Fruit or Granadilla** at 0 mg per serving (). That's well within the safe range. Other top low-oxalate picks include **Herbs and Spices**, **Turmeric Root Extract**, **Condiment**. These are your best bets for daily consumption.
