About this food

Rice sits in the Grains & Starches group. 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.

Nutrient insight

Rice's phosphorus (15%) is worth noting - especially with Natural plant source (lower absorption) as the source, since absorption differs a lot.
