Also known as: पोहा
Poha is made from flattened rice — low in potassium (120 mg/100g) and moderate in phosphorus. It's a light, kidney-friendly breakfast staple across India. Watch added salt and peanuts (common in poha recipes — peanuts are high in phosphorus and potassium). Ask for poha without peanuts for advanced CKD.
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 cooked (150g) — always count this toward your daily potassium, phosphorus, and (on dialysis) fluid budget.
