Zapallo has moderate levels: 320 mg potassium, 21 mg phosphorus, 7 mg sodium per 100g. It is fine in small portions for early CKD (stages 1-3a), but in stages 3b-5 and dialysis you should limit portions and count it against your daily potassium and phosphorus budget.
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 cup cooked (~75g) — always count this toward your daily potassium, phosphorus, and (on dialysis) fluid budget.
