This dish is a higher oxalate but very low sodium and low added sugar. Just like everything in life, you can’t always meet all your goals perfectly. But, remember, unless your doc has told you otherwise, you get up to 100 mg of oxalate per day. This dish certainly doesn’t break your bank, and you get to eat yummy sweet potatoes.
Now you may also think, “But, Jill, you don’t know how many oxalates are in black beans. Harvard didn’t study them.”
Live a little. It’s ok. My patients still eat black beans; they just don’t eat bowls and bowls of them anymore. And those same patients certainly were not getting their daily calcium needs met, which one needs to do in order to rid the body of the oxalate. Nobody made a stone with a few beans. It is what we do over time and how much within that time that matters.
This is a very satisfying and nourishing dish while being lower calorie and high in fiber. Maybe it’s a wee bit high in oxalate, but it is so worth it.
Enjoy!
