Top 15 Foods High in Phosphorus

Quinoa

Many people often consider quinoa to be “grains.” However, they are actually pseudocereals. One cup of cooked quinoa (around 250 grams) contains more than 40 percent of the daily recommended daily intake for phosphorous. In addition, it is a great source of protein, minerals, and fiber. People with a gluten-free diet can add quinoa to their meals as well. Make sure to ferment, sprout or soak the food before consuming to improve phosphorus availability. [10]
