About this food
Spinach sits in the Vegetables group. 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.
Nutrient insight
Spinach's sodium (16%) is the main risk item. Cooking plainly with less sauce can cut the per-serving sodium meaningfully.
