✓ Medically Reviewed Content reviewed by OxalateWatch Editorial Team. Based on Harvard T.H. Chan SPH oxalate data (2024) and NKF/AUA dietary guidelines.

Mango is one of the safest tropical fruits for kidney stone patients — about 1 mg oxalate per fruit. It's sweet, juicy, loaded with vitamins A and C, and available fresh or frozen year-round. The high water content helps with hydration. Fresh mango with a squeeze of lime is a perfect summer dessert with zero oxalate concerns. Dried mango concentrates the sugar (and any trace oxalate), so fresh is better. But at 1 mg per fruit, you'd have to eat an implausible amount for oxalate to matter.
