Potassium Content in Recipes

Potassium content is often difficult to find on food labels or in recipes. Exceptions include cookbooks and websites specifically for chronic kidney disease or dialysis patients (see Kidney Diet Tips blogroll).

Keep in mind, Eating Well magazine recipes are not developed for the kidney diet. Recipes vary from low to high potassium and phosphorus analysis is not available. Some of the recipes can easily be modified to reduce phosphorus content. People who want assistance with modifying recipes for a kidney diet can ask their Renal Dietitian for help.
