Verdict: Safe for CKD

Millet is a kidney-friendly choice. With low levels of restricted minerals (phosphorus, sodium, potassium), you can include this in your CKD diet without strict portion limits. Still, balance with other foods throughout the day.

Always confirm with your nephrologist or renal dietitian — individual CKD stages and lab values vary.
