Kidney Nutrition & Mineral Prep Tips

Dietitian Tip: When buying flour tortillas, inspect the ingredients carefully: avoid brands listing 'sodium acid pyrophosphate' or 'calcium phosphate'. Traditional corn tortillas or simple flour tortillas without leavening additives are safest.

Stage Adaptation: Safe across Stages 1 through 4.
