Lowest Oxalate Content in Different Seed Types

Hello,

Pumpkin seeds and hemp seeds are purportedly low in oxalate content (compared to chia seeds).

However there are no concrete nutritional numbers online and conflicting reports of both pumpkin and hemp seeds being high in oxalate content. Does anyone happen to know if either pumpkin and hemp seeds are low or high in oxalate content?

Thank you!

Answer

Pumpkin seeds and ripe hass avocado are significantly low, the data reflects that over and over again.

With hemp it’s not as clear. Pistachios, macadamias, sunflower seeds, watermelon seeds, and tiger nuts could all possibly be lower in oxalate.

Hemp is definitely lower in oxalate than peanuts, Brazil nuts, pine nuts, cashews, almonds, sesame, chia, walnuts and pecans.

Flax is low ox.

Answer

Oxalates are common. If you are worried about them add a small amount of calcium carbonate to form insoluble calcium oxalate which passes through the intestines, or eat more calcium containing cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cabbage along with the foods that are your concern
