Also known as: नमकीन
Namkeen (bhujia, mixture, etc.) is extremely high in sodium (1,000-1,400 mg/100g) — a single bowl can exceed half the daily sodium allowance for hypertensive kidney patients. Many brands also use phosphate additives. Avoid namkeen and all salty snacks in CKD and dialysis; choose unsalted homemade alternatives.
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 small bowl (30g) — always count this toward your daily potassium, phosphorus, and (on dialysis) fluid budget.
