About this food

Cabbage (Vegetables). Vegetables are a key source of fiber and vitamins and are beneficial in CKD. Some are high in potassium, but slicing, boiling and discarding the water can remove about 30-50% of the potassium - a practical step. This is the same lens used for similar items.

Nutrient insight

Cabbage's sodium (25%) is the main risk item. Cooking plainly with less sauce can cut the per-serving sodium meaningfully.
