- Nuts and Seeds (Oxalates):
The Culprit: Similar to leafy greens, nuts like almonds, peanuts, cashews, and seeds like sesame and sunflower seeds contain oxalates.
How to Eat Them Safely:
Choose Lower-Oxalate Options: Opt for lower-oxalate nuts like macadamia nuts and walnuts.
Portion Control: Stick to small servings. A handful (around 1/4 cup) is usually sufficient.
Hydrate Well: Drinking plenty of water helps flush out the oxalates and prevent them from concentrating in the kidneys.
