Raw jackfruit is high in potassium (448 mg/100g) — a half-cup serving delivers ~336 mg. Ripe jackfruit is even higher in sugar and potassium. For CKD stages 3-5 and dialysis, jackfruit should be avoided or strictly limited. The unripe 'vegetable' form used in curries carries the same potassium burden.
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 raw (75g) — always count this toward your daily potassium, phosphorus, and (on dialysis) fluid budget.
