“Sally Norton is the leading voice bringing clarity to the overlooked role of oxalates in human health. In The Essential Low-Oxalate Cookbook, she translates that knowledge into the kitchen.” —Dr. Bill Schindler, chef and author of Eat Like a Human

If you’re eating a healthy diet but still dealing with fatigue, inflammation, anxiety, recurrent injuries, or chronic pain, the problem could be the very foods you turn to for healing: spinach, almonds, sweet potatoes. Your key to vibrant health may be quitting these so-called superfoods.

A variety of trusted plant foods hide a natural plant toxin called oxalate, which can accumulate anywhere in the body, disrupt metabolism, quietly drive inflammation, and cause a range of debilitating symptoms.

Sally K. Norton, MPH, author of Toxic Superfoods, has helped hundreds of clients and thousands of readers safely reduce their oxalate levels, improve their energy, and find relief from pain. Here, in The Essential Low-Oxalate Cookbook, she shows you exactly how to do it—so you can feel better without giving up the foods and flavors you love.

Inside you will find

• 75 satisfying low-oxalate recipes featuring international flavors, comfort-food favorites, and nourishing everyday meals
• a simple guide to swapping high-oxalate ingredients with safer, healthier alternatives
• practical tips and techniques for selecting and safely preparing your ingredients
• oxalate content and nutritional information for every recipe

Enjoy comforting staples like Chicken Enchiladas, hearty mains like Tender Beef Chuck Roast with Candied Winter Squash Puree, and irresistible treats like Apple Cranberry Crisp and Banana Coconut Muffins with Sweet Vanilla Butter.

With recipes—more than half plant-forward with the rest featuring fish and meat—ranging from smoothies and breakfasts to elegant dinners and desserts, this cookbook makes it easy to eat well, feel satisfied, and thrive without sacrificing flavor.
