About this food
Sour cream belongs to the Dairy & Eggs category. Dairy products are high in phosphorus with high absorption and should be limited. With eggs, the white is a low-phosphorus protein while the yolk is much higher - treat them differently.
Nutrient insight
Potassium at 11% is the main consideration. Concentrated forms such as juice and dried fruit absorb faster; whole foods are gentler.
