Flavor variants in a product family share the base profile, and the oxalate table follows the base more than the flavoring. Rye Flour measures 12 mg per serving, in the middle of the family range. The useful reading is the family spread: if the range is narrow, flavor choice is free; if it is wide, the flavor with the lower measured value is the easy win. Related forms in this family: White or Whole Wheat Flour (10 mg), Tigernut Flour (12 mg), Rice Flour (10 mg).
