It is a good source of both iron and high-quality protein
The main blood products that Chinese people often eat include pig blood, duck blood, chicken blood, etc. These whole blood products contain a large amount of iron ions, and are also a good source of high-quality protein. Many kidney friends need to limit their intake of fat, purine, potassium, and phosphorus ions, which are very low, making them a good food. Kidney friends can safely use fresh blood products produced by regular manufacturers. The nutritional composition of blood products from different animals is not entirely the same.

Who is suitable for eating
Because blood products contain a large amount of iron ions, they are particularly suitable for kidney friends with iron deficiency anemia. At the same time, whole blood products also contain high-quality protein, low in fat, purine, phosphorus, potassium, etc., and have a smooth taste, which can also promote appetite. For most kidney friends, whole blood products are an excellent food ingredient.
However, renal friends with moderate or severe thalassemia not only do not suffer from blood iron deficiency, but also are prone to iron ion accumulation. Therefore, these renal friends should eat less foods with high iron content.

Alternative Ways to Eat Blood Products
Generally, people who eat blood products only use animal blood to fry vegetables or boil soup, and also to make Maoxuewang, which kidney friends cannot eat. How else can blood products be eaten? You can also add fresh animal blood to glutinous rice to make rice blood cakes!
Rice Blood Cake is a characteristic snack in southern Fujian. In the past, there was a shortage of materials. After killing the duck, they couldn't bear to pour out the duck's blood, so they put it into glutinous rice and steamed it until it was cooked. Later, the practice of adding chicken blood and pig blood gradually emerged, which can be used as a substitute for rice, with a richer taste than pure blood products. However, many rice blood cakes on the market have been added with excessive salt, so kidney friends can make them themselves if they have the conditions, or instruct the shop owner to add less salt.

Dietary advice
Having said so much, kidney friends must wonder how many whole blood products they can eat every day? Generally speaking, kidney friends have no problem eating one or two (50g) of pig blood every day. When cooking with blood products, everyone should also pay attention to reducing salt and oil, using no more than 6g of salt per day (if you have hypertension, limit it to less than 3g), and using no more than 30g of oil. Take good control of your diet.
