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

Phosphorus at <1% is the highest item. Additive phosphorus in processed foods absorbs best; naturally occurring phosphorus is more controllable.
