Question: are nuts high in phosphate?
Answer: Nuts. Most nuts are good sources of phosphorus, but Brazil nuts top the list. Just a 1/2-cup (67 grams) of Brazil nuts provides more than 2/3 of the RDI for adults (36). Other nuts containing at least 40% of the RDI per 1/2-cup (60–70 grams) include cashews, almonds, pine nuts and pistachios (37, 38, 39, 40).
