About this food
For Legumes & Nuts, Nuts is a typical example. 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.
Nutrient insight
The most striking number here is potassium (26%). For patients on potassium restriction, portion size and leaching are the two levers that matter for foods like Nuts.
