Flavor variants in a product family share the base profile, and the oxalate table follows the base more than the flavoring. Peppermint Leaves Herbs and Spices measures 0 mg per serving, at the low end of the family. 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: Orange Extract Herbs and Spices (0 mg), Vanilla Extract Herbs and Spices (0 mg), Lemon Extract Herbs and Spices (0 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. Peppermint Leaves Herbs and Spices sits at 0 mg per teaspoon serving. Nearby entries in this category: Curcumin (0 mg), Hawthorn Solid Extract (0 mg), Almond Extract Herbs and Spices (0 mg).
