oxalates
Spinach acid salts
Oxalates are salts or esters of oxalic acid, found naturally in many plants including spinach, rhubarb, and beets.
In the body, oxalates can bind with calcium to form kidney stones—the most common type.
People prone to kidney stones are often advised to limit high-oxalate foods: My doctor told me to cut back on spinach because of the oxalates.
