Can I eat almonds on a low oxalate diet?

In this episode, Jill discusses whether almonds can be eaten on a low oxalate diet. She explains that almonds are typically restricted on the Kidney Stone Diet due to their high oxalate content. Overeating almonds can lead to an excessive intake of oxalate, which increases the risk of kidney stones. She also mentions that almonds are often overconsumed by people following diets like paleo and keto. Jeff and Jill provide alternative crunchy options for those who miss the texture of almonds. They emphasize the importance of cooking at home and offer the Kidney Stone Diet Meal Plans as a resource for healthy recipes.
