About this food

Rice is a common member of 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 helps when choosing similar foods.

Nutrient insight

Rice's phosphorus (4%) is worth noting - especially with Natural plant source (lower absorption) as the source, since absorption differs a lot.
