127 foods in this collection
Oxalate values from Harvard T.H. Chan SPH Oxalate Database (2024), measured via ion chromatography. This site is a dietary reference tool, not a medical resource.
Herbs and spices are the good news of the seasoning aisle: most fresh herbs measure near zero oxalate, and even dried spices — used in pinches — contribute little to a daily oxalate total. A few concentrated exceptions (curry powder, turmeric, oregano, poppy seeds) carry higher values per gram, but the serving size is so small that the practical impact is minimal. Seasoning food with herbs and citrus is one of the best stone-friendly swaps available, replacing sodium-heavy blends.
