About Lentils
Lentils (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 is the same lens used for similar items.
Nutrient insight
Potassium is the highest of the three at 18%. With reduced kidney function, blood potassium can rise, so spread high-potassium foods across the day rather than in one large serving.

Practical tips
How to eat it more safely: Cook legumes and discard the water to lower some minerals; keep nuts to a small handful.
