About this food

About Tamarind nectar: Potassium levels vary widely across fruits - apples and berries are low-potassium, kidney-friendly picks, while bananas and avocados are high and need portion control. The natural sugar in fruit is usually not the issue; potassium is. As a Fruits item, its role in a kidney diet depends mainly on mineral content.

Nutrient insight

Tamarind nectar's potassium is the top contributor (1% of its limit), so its potassium density deserves attention. In CKD stage 3-4 the kidneys clear potassium less well - control portions, and peeling, slicing or boiling can help.
