About this food

Gravy is a common member of Condiments & Oils. 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. This helps when choosing similar foods.

Nutrient insight

Potassium is the highest of the three at 4%. With reduced kidney function, blood potassium can rise, so spread high-potassium foods across the day rather than in one large serving.
