The higher oxalic acid greens are spinach, swiss chard, and beet greens. The others aren't high in it.
This summer the deer, the white albino (even eyes and nose) deer came (and continues to come) to eat the garden. It even bit through netting to eat the beets. It ate the high oxalate greens but NOT the rest, it was so funny. It would step around and eat around the regular greens that I had mixed in, the bok choi, the kale, and the mustard greens. It decimated the chard and beets.
It nibbled the okra, when I look up okra, they are moderate in oxalates. It ate the bean plants (w/o beans) to the ground in many areas, but I couldn't find data on green bean plants.
It must be something the deer needs, or at least this special protected deer.
