About this food

In a CKD diet, Condiments & Oils deserve attention: Oil - 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

Oil's sodium (<1%) is the main risk item. Cooking plainly with less sauce can cut the per-serving sodium meaningfully.
