About this food

In a CKD diet, Condiments & Oils deserve attention: Fat - Sodium varies hugely across condiments and oils - soy sauce and sauces are sodium-dense while most plant oils are nearly sodium-free. Swapping salty sauces for oils is a practical sodium trick.

Nutrient insight

Fat's phosphorus (<1%) is worth noting - especially with Processed additive (highest absorption) as the source, since absorption differs a lot.
