📊 Nutrition at a Glance
Cooking method is the axis that separates the members of this family. Boiled versions shed part of their soluble oxalate into the discarded water (typically 30-50%), raw versions retain everything, and frozen sits close to raw. Cilantro Herbs and Spices measures 1 mg per standard serving, in the middle of the family range — check the form you actually eat rather than the base name. Related forms in this family: Chives Herbs and Spices (1 mg), Garlic powder Herbs and Spices (1 mg), Capers Herbs and Spices (1 mg).
Spices are the one food family where serving size dominates the oxalate question completely. At a gram or two per teaspoon, the difference between spice entries matters less than how often the jar comes out of the cupboard — a daily-seasoning spice and a holiday-only spice are different exposure categories even at similar per-serving numbers. Cilantro Herbs and Spices measures 1 mg per teaspoon serving. Nearby entries in this category: Allspice (1 mg), Anise seed (1 mg), Basil (1 mg).
