Phytate 1 article
Phytate, or phytic acid, is a phosphorus-storage compound concentrated in seeds, grains, legumes, nuts, bran, and germ. The compound is part of plant-food chemistry rather than a required Nutrition Facts nutrient, and it differs from oxalate in structure, food distribution, and the mechanisms by which it interacts with minerals. Its multiple phosphate groups can bind minerals in foods, and food processing methods such as soaking, sprouting, fermentation, or phytase activity can reduce phytate levels.
