About this food
About Beans: 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. As a Legumes & Nuts item, its role in a kidney diet depends mainly on mineral content.
Nutrient insight
Beans's potassium is the top contributor (22% of its limit), so its potassium density deserves attention. In CKD stage 3-4 the kidneys clear potassium less well - control portions, and peeling, slicing or boiling can help.
