About Cashew

Cashew 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

Phosphorus at 59% is the highest item. Additive phosphorus in processed foods absorbs best; naturally occurring phosphorus is more controllable.
