: Also, another database listing Oxalate content

I'm tired now! I'm not looking for info on oxalates now; gonna trust you on this one!
I do see though (on the same chart I referenced on the above post) that collards have a much better calcium to phosphorous ratio (3:1). So they would be a good food source as a 'meal,' although the protein is listed as 32.7%. Whereas, green beans (with their ratio of 1.3:1) would not be a good choice unless offered with a food higher than a 2:1 ratio to offset the calcium 'deficiency' in the green beans. Gosh, my head is spinning!
