Radish
Radishes are crunchy vegetables that make a healthy addition to a renal diet.
This is because they are very low in potassium and phosphorus but high in many other important nutrients.
Radishes are a great source of vitamin C, an antioxidant that has been shown to decrease the risk of heart disease and cataracts (47Trusted Source, 48Trusted Source).
Additionally, their peppery taste makes a flavorful addition to low sodium dishes.
A half cup (58 grams) of sliced radishes contains (49Trusted Source):
- sodium: 23 mg
- potassium: 135 mg
- phosphorus: 12 mg
