5. Beets: Nutrient-rich but high in oxalates

Beets are celebrated for their health benefits, including high levels of folate and manganese and their ability to help lower blood pressure. However, they are also among the vegetables highest in oxalates, with 152 milligrams per cup. While their nutritional advantages are undeniable, individuals with a tendency for kidney stones or those on a low-oxalate diet might need to limit beet consumption to maintain a balanced oxalate intake.
