Buttermilk (chaas) is lower in potassium (137 mg/100g) and phosphorus (87 mg/100g) than whole milk — a lighter dairy option for kidney patients. Unsalted chaas with minimal salt is preferred (some preparations add salt/black salt — keep it low). Safe for all stages in moderation; counts toward fluid in dialysis.
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 cup (240mL) — always count this toward your daily potassium, phosphorus, and (on dialysis) fluid budget.
