About this food

Pie is a common member of Grains & Starches. Grains and starches are usually relatively low in potassium and phosphorus, making them a sensible base for a CKD diet. Watch whole-grain and some processed grain products, which can carry more phosphorus. This helps when choosing similar foods.

Nutrient insight

Pie's sodium (13%) is the main risk item. Cooking plainly with less sauce can cut the per-serving sodium meaningfully.
