About this food

Oil belongs to the Condiments & Oils category. 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 is the top contributor (<1% of its limit). Sodium drives blood pressure and swelling, and most CKD patients limit it - watch hidden sodium in sauces and cured products.
