Broccoli 2 mgs per cup
Brussels sprouts 9 mgs per 3 oz
Watercress less than 3mg per 100g
Mustard greens (cant find consistent measurment but is usually under 10 mg)
Turnip greens (cant find consistent measurements but seems to be under 15 mg)
Bokchoy 2mg per cup
Common kale 17 mg in 3 oz (there is more in dino kale, less in curly leaf)
Remember most of these are cooked when eaten and cooking reduces oxalates, however usually when raw the oxalates only increase by 2-5 mg BUT they are usually MORE bioavailable.
However the foods below are high in oxalates above 25 mg a serving and also some are high in goitgrogens
Collards, Swiss chard, Dino Kale, beets and beet greens, almonds, sweet potatoes, oranges, berries, spinach
There however is ways to avoid problems with oxalates, provide plenty of water. Avoid processed sugar and salt, and increase calcium. The thing is... we need a varied diet. Most of us feed from both these lists there is more foods on the medium high to high oxalate list than there are on the low oxalates. Which is fine. We supplement our reptiles and insects in a way that they shouldnt have a problem with calcium absoprtion. Do i think we should go will nilly with the spinach. Heck no. Do i think we should avoid it completely if we have some going bad and need to toss it to the bugs. Also no. Ive done this since ive been keeping reptiles. Feed a well rounded diet. Give them consistent access to fluids. And supplement. I know ive been on this tangent for a while today but the research is driving me a bit crazy and you guys are the only ones who appreciate this stuff.
Its like when i did that stupid vit A post at some ungodly time in the morning. >.>'
