When you list the recipe’s nutritional value, can you list the “net” phosphorous content too? Since < 50% of the phosphorous in chickpeas is absorbed, would the " net" value of phosphorous be < 150 mg?
Hi, thanks for your comment. You are absolutely correct that the phosphorus in chickpeas is not fully absorbed; however, there is no standard guide when it comes to understanding the absorption rates of certain foods for calculating the nutrition values of recipes. Lots of things can affect how much we absorb of any one nutrient in a food. We love your mindset!
