Coffee... 10 mg
Beets.... 650 mg
It's all relative, I guess.johns74 said:I wouldn't call potato a high-oxalate food.
True that beets have 10x more. I probably eat 10x more potatoes than beet greens/spinach.johns74 said:So beets can be about 10 times higher in oxalates than potatoes. I don't put them in the same category.
Potatoes are often eaten in mashed potatoes with milk, which reduces absorption of oxalates.

I should get off my butt and check the list you linked to johns74, but is that prodigious oxalate content in beets mostly in the greens, or the bulb, or both? Just got given a box of beets too. Red compost methinks. Or I might use them as red dye for cloth perhaps.
....I checked. Bad news too.
tara said:If you like them, and can find a way to store them, I don't see why you couldn't have a little now and then for variety, unless you know you are particularly prone to calcium oxalate stones. I use to eat them raw grated with carrot. I imagine you'd get less oxalate this way than boiled or roasted?
beetroot is a best veggie for the liver detox.. Much more effective than carrot..johns74 said:It's just something I wouldn't eat every day to get erections or something from the nitric oxide.
