About this food

Beans (Legumes & Nuts). Legumes and nuts are typically high in both phosphorus and potassium, so they need care. Plant phosphorus absorbs at a lower rate (30-50%), so the real load is smaller than the numbers suggest. This is the same lens used for similar items.

Nutrient insight

Beans's sodium (21%) is the main risk item. Cooking plainly with less sauce can cut the per-serving sodium meaningfully.
