What Nidam al-Tayyibat says
All raw greens are excluded by the system, which cites their oxalates; this applies to salad as well as to fresh herbs used as garnish.
What conventional nutrition says
Raw green leaves are among the most recommended foods: fiber, folate, vitamin K. Oxalates are only a problem with specific kidney stones.
