Also known as: अरबी
Arbi (colocasia/taro) is very high in potassium (591 mg/100g) — one half-cup serving delivers ~384 mg. For CKD stages 3-5 and dialysis, arbi should be avoided. Even early-stage CKD patients should limit portions. There is no effective leaching method for taro that removes enough potassium to make it safe in advanced disease.
Values are approximate, based on USDA FoodData Central and ICMR-NIN Indian Food Composition Tables. Actual values vary by variety, ripeness, serving size, and cooking method. The database rating is a general reference, not an individualized diet recommendation.
1/2 cup cooked (65g) — always count this toward your daily potassium, phosphorus, and (on dialysis) fluid budget.
