Cabbages have oxalate crystals too.

So why aren't they poisonous?

Dosage? Odd, my book doesn't list them as having oxalates. They do
have glycosinolates which are metabolized to isothiocyanates, which
are bad for people, but they don't have much.

Yes, they have oxalate crystals, much like philodendrons, taros,
dieffenbachias, other members on the Aurm family.
