📊 Nutrition at a Glance
Concentration is what separates this entry from its family: drying, grinding, and juicing pack the oxalate of the whole food into a smaller serving, so concentrated forms usually measure higher than fresh ones of the same base. Ginger Herbs and Spices (Ginger) sits at 1 mg per serving, in the middle of the family range. Where a recipe allows the fresh form it is generally the lighter pick; where only the concentrated form works, portion size is the lever that keeps the daily budget intact. Related forms in this family: Garlic powder Herbs and Spices (1 mg), Mace Herbs and Spices (1 mg), Cilantro Herbs and Spices (1 mg).
Reading spice numbers honestly: herbs and spices are measured per teaspoon, and a teaspoon of almost anything dried weighs 1-2 grams — so even a spice at a high per-100g concentration delivers a trivial oxalate load in the spoon most recipes use. The realistic way to use this table is for cooking frequency: a spice you shake daily deserves a lower number than one you toast twice a year. Ginger Herbs and Spices (Ginger) sits at 1 mg per teaspoon serving. Nearby entries in this category: Allspice (1 mg), Anise seed (1 mg), Basil (1 mg).
