Yes but if you are going on the premise that oxalic acid is bad i.e. For forming stones etc., then a lot of fruits are high in it. Things like blueberries which I had always thought are excellent. Also strawberries. Again I think it has to do with moderation and not to overdo things, try to keep a balance I suppose. More is not always, better methinks. Dee

Purple fruits have anti-oxidant pigments, many fruits have anti-tumor or other health benefits. Grains without gluten- buckwheat, quinoa, millet, and rice, seem to help with balancing amino acids with legumes, and are good for energy and fiber. Nancy
