So helpful, yes please do these! I didnt know about the extracts being ok or the cinnamon sticks! Black eye peas, yellow split peas are ok yes? So after you cook in water, much of the oxalate is in the water? Beans too? Thank you ! 💕💕🙏🏼 Could oat or barley flour work for a flat bread tortilla type thing? I do well with cooked whole barley and oats.
Lots of questions here! LOL Extracts have been very consistently a tiny fraction of the oxalate in the original whole spice or herb. While this may not make them "text book" low oxalate all the time (which would be less than 5 mg per serving - which for an extract is likely 1 tsp or so), you definitely will always lower your oxalate intake. And when it comes to legumes, black eyed peas, and both yellow and green split peas are some of my favourites. Definitely, these are low. You can't always depend on much of the oxalate moving into cooking water; it depends on the food. So I'd avoid the higher oxalate beans. I stick personally to the ones I've mentioned, and red lentils, plus chickpeas. These are pretty reliable in terms of oxalate levels.
@ thank you so much ! I appreciate your knowledge! I’m in menopause and trying to figure out if my urinary pain symptoms is oxalates or estrogen dropping. Just started a cream so if it gets better I’ll know but in the mean time I’m LOW Ox and listening to you! I made my black eye peas today, boiling first, throwing out water then pressure cooking and draining water. I need all the help 🙏🏼
I started getting depressed. The big family dinner when the carnivores get together with the diabetic and the kid with the nut allergy plus the fatty liver and kidney stone people. We all need to learn to knit or craft. Eating is not entertainment. It might be only one day but can come with a hangover the next day or two. Best to live the lie and eat the cake. Thanks for the creative suggestions.
So agree with you! I've gone mostly carnivore and feel so much better... but I had reduced oxalate first, and that made a huge difference. Appreciate your comment!
You are brilliant - this is great !
Thank you!
This is really cool! ❤
Thank you! Thought it would be fun and it was!
Would definitely enjoy more of these vids.
Thanks for letting me know!
Thank you. So useful x
That's my plan! To get more information that is helpful for those living a low oxalate lifestyle... After all, life goes on!
Well done, great tips. Love extracts
Awesome video! Joined your patreon last month and am appreciating the wealth of knowledge I'm getting there. Thanks.
Thanks for the wonderful comment!

Does the type of cinnamon differ in oxalates? Ex: Ceylon vs Saigon?
We only have testing on Ceylon Cinnamon - but it is extremely high. I'd use extracts just to be sure.
