About this food
Mushrooms is a common member of 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 helps when choosing similar foods.
Nutrient insight
