Also known as: घी (खाना पकाने में)
Ghee has negligible potassium and phosphorus — safe for kidneys. The concern is saturated fat and calories: limit to 1-2 tsp daily for heart health. Ghee in moderation adds flavor without mineral burden, making it suitable for renal diets.
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 tsp (5g) — always count this toward your daily potassium, phosphorus, and (on dialysis) fluid budget.
