Moderate Herbs & Spices

6 foods rated

This list covers 6 foods relevant to a kidney-friendly diet. None of these rate as kidney-friendly at stage 3-4 limits. Every value comes from USDA FoodData Central and is checked against the CKD stage 3-4 daily limits.

What this tier means

Foods in this herbs & spices group fall in the 15-25% band for at least one mineral, so they are fine in reasonable portions but should not dominate the plate. Knowing which mineral drives the rating helps — check the food page to see whether it is phosphorus, sodium or potassium. Examples in this list include spices, horseradish and spices. For any of these foods, the food page shows exact phosphorus, sodium and potassium values per 100 g plus the share of the daily limit — use that before deciding on a portion.
