About this food

Bread (Grains & Starches). Grains and starches are usually relatively low in potassium and phosphorus, making them a sensible base for a CKD diet. Watch whole-grain and some processed grain products, which can carry more phosphorus. This is the same lens used for similar items.

Nutrient insight

Bread's sodium (11%) is the main risk item. Cooking plainly with less sauce can cut the per-serving sodium meaningfully.
