🔍 Key Insights

1 **Mostly safe territory.** 10 out of 11 foods (90%) 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 29 mg per serving. The lowest is **Seaweed** (0 mg), and the highest is **Soup** (29 mg).
3 **Low average oxalate.** The mean across all 11 foods is 7.0 mg per serving — solidly in the safe zone. You can build meals around these foods with confidence.
4 **Sodium alert.** 10 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.** 5 foods (50%) provide 100+ mg calcium per 100g. Dietary calcium binds oxalate in your gut — getting enough calcium from food is actually protective against kidney stones.

The foods listed below all satisfy both conditions, making this a focused set of 11 items.

Are Vegetables foods that are High Sodium safe for kidney stones?

Safety varies within this group. 11 foods share both tags, but their oxalate levels span from 0 to 29 mg per serving. The safe ones (~90%) 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 × 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 Vegetables category if possible.
