How the form changes the number: preparation is the real variable across this family. Boiling leaches a meaningful share of soluble oxalate into the cooking water — commonly 30-50% for plant foods — while raw and dry-heat forms keep essentially all of it, so the same base food can land in different brackets depending on how it is cooked. This page tracks Savory Herbs and Spices (Savory) at 1 mg per serving, in the middle of the family range. Related forms in this family: Sage Herbs and Spices (Sage 2) (1 mg), Marjoram Herbs and Spices (2 mg), Herbs and Spices, Pepper, White (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. Savory Herbs and Spices (Savory) sits at 1 mg per teaspoon serving. Nearby entries in this category: Allspice (1 mg), Anise seed (1 mg), Basil (1 mg).
