Different types of the same vegetable or fruit can have wildly different amounts of oxalate—sometimes 2 to 15 times more—because of how they’re grown or what kind they are, making it hard to give simple diet advice.

Narrative Review

If you eat a normal diet with about 150 to 250 milligrams of oxalate a day, roughly half of the oxalate that shows up in your urine comes from the food you eat—so what you eat really matters for how much oxalate your body gets rid of.
