Cauliflower
Cauliflower is a nutrient-dense vegetable offering essential vitamins like K and folate, along with fibre and antioxidants. Anaemia is usually a problem with CKD. This is why your doctor might place you on weekly Epo and ferrous. Getting folate from natural sources like cauliflower helps boost your haemoglobin content.
With low sodium, potassium, and phosphorus levels, boiled cauliflower (62 grams) provides 9.3 mg of sodium, 88 mg of potassium, 20 mg of phosphorus, and 1 gram of protein. Substituting mashed cauliflower for potatoes makes for a low-potassium side dish.
