Turmeric per 100g is very high in potassium (2,080 mg/100g), but the cooking dose is tiny: ½ tsp adds only ~31 mg potassium. Culinary turmeric is safe. High-dose curcumin supplements are the concern — they can concentrate potassium and interact with blood thinners. Avoid turmeric supplements in 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.
1/2 tsp (1.5g) — always count this toward your daily potassium, phosphorus, and (on dialysis) fluid budget.
