Sunflower and Pumpkin Seeds
These seeds are not just for snacking; they’re also rich in phosphorus, with each ounce providing about 26%–27% of the DV. It’s worth noting that a large portion of the phosphorus in seeds is in the form of phytic acid, which is less available for absorption. Despite this, sunflower and pumpkin seeds remain a nutritious choice, offering a mix of healthy fats, fiber, and other minerals alongside their phosphorus content.
Soy
Soybeans and their various forms, including edamame, tofu, and tempeh, offer a versatile way to include phosphorus in your diet. Mature soybeans are exceptionally high in phosphorus, providing over 50% of the DV per cup. Fermented soy products, such as tempeh and natto, are also good sources, contributing to a diet rich in this essential mineral. Including soy products in your meals can add both nutrition and variety to your diet.
