catching up re beet pulp, pt. 2
Cool. thanks for that good info, ed! I'm confused
though. According to Sueg's website, beet pulp is a pretty good source of
calcium. so the oxalate in beet pulp negates its own calcium content???? Can
you overcome that by adding more calcium as a supplement?

Yes, and yes. The oxalate negates *some* of the calcium content, but not all.
The same occurs in alfalfa, but because there’s such a surplus of
calcium, the chelated portion isn’t missed.
