About this food

About Rice bran: 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. As a Grains & Starches item, its role in a kidney diet depends mainly on mineral content.

Nutrient insight

Rice bran's phosphorus is the top contributor (168% of its limit). Source matters: animal phosphorus absorbs at 60-80%, additive phosphorus near 100% - the same number can mean very different real loads.
