About this food
Nuts is a common member of 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 helps when choosing similar foods.
Nutrient insight
Nuts's potassium reaches 15% of the limit - the leading item. Patients with normal blood potassium can eat moderate amounts; those with hyperkalemia should be more careful.
