About this food

Seeds 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

Seeds's phosphorus (168%) is worth noting - especially with Natural plant source (lower absorption) as the source, since absorption differs a lot.
