About this food

Bread (Grains & Starches). Grains and starches are usually relatively low in potassium and phosphorus, making them a sensible base for a CKD diet. Watch whole-grain and some processed grain products, which can carry more phosphorus. This is the same lens used for similar items.

Nutrient insight

Bread's phosphorus (23%) is worth noting - especially with Natural plant source (lower absorption) as the source, since absorption differs a lot.
