About this food

For Grains & Starches, Spaghetti is a typical example. 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

Spaghetti's phosphorus is the top contributor (33% of its limit). Source matters: animal phosphorus absorbs at 60-80%, additive phosphorus near 100% - the same number can mean very different real loads.
