Peach
The bottom line
A small fresh peach, or half a cup canned in juice, sits comfortably on the lower-potassium list.

Kidney diets are individual: what is right for you depends on your stage, your blood tests, your medicines and your other conditions. Always talk to your care team or renal dietitian before changing what you eat, and never stop or change a medicine because of something you read here.
