About this food
How to think about Legumes & Nuts: Tofu is worth a closer look - 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.
Nutrient insight
Tofu's phosphorus is 19% of the limit, from Natural plant source (lower absorption). On a phosphorus-restricted diet, limit how often and how much you eat it.
