Do Tortillas Have Phosphorus

One 6-inch corn tortilla contains between 75 mg (organic corn tortillas) to 95 mg (regular) phosphorus per 30 g serving. The problem is many people eat more than one tortilla. If you are eating 4 to 6 regular corn tortillas at a meal the phosphorus is 380 to 570 mg, which is too much for a kidney diet.
