Raspberries are a pleasant surprise in the oxalate world: 2 mg per cup, essentially nothing. They're also packed with fiber (8g per cup — a third of your daily needs) and antioxidants. The tiny seeds don't contribute meaningful oxalate. Fresh or frozen, raspberries work in yogurt, oatmeal, smoothies, or straight from the container. They're one of the safest berries for kidney stone patients, alongside strawberries.
