Potassium-rich foods

Posted by Bobby Brown on April 12, 2021 - 8:17pm


 

Ready to boost your intake? Taylor suggests adding these potassium powerhouses to your diet.

1. Potatoes

Spuds are a smart choice — just leave the nutrient-rich skins intact. A medium baked potato with the skin on contains more than 900 milligrams of potassium. A sweet potato with skin? More than 500 milligrams.

2. Legumes

Beans are a good source of potassium. White beans and adzuki beans have around 600 milligrams per half-cup serving. Pinto beans, navy beans, lima beans and Great Northern beans all have more than 350 milligrams per half-cup. Soybeans (aka edamame, aka delicious) and lentils are also good sources of potassium.

3. Juices

People often reach for whole fruit over juices since whole fruits are a good source of fiber. But don’t rule out juice completely. Prune juice and carrot juice both pack a serious potassium punch: About 689 milligrams for a cup of carrot juice and more than 700 milligrams for the same amount of prune juice.

Orange juice and pomegranate juice are also good picks, each containing around 500 milligrams per cup. Taylor recommends watching your portions though because of the sugar content.

4. Seafood

Popular fish like salmon, mackerel, halibut, tuna and snapper all have more than 400 milligrams of potassium in a 3-ounce filet. Chowder more your thing? Just 3 ounces of canned clams will get you upwards of 500 milligrams.

5. Leafy greens

Popeye had the right idea. A half-cup serving of cooked spinach contains up to 400 milligrams of potassium. The same amount of Swiss chard has more than 450 milligrams and beet greens more than 600 milligrams.

6. Dairy

You know dairy is a super source of calcium. Turns out, it’s a great source of potassium, too. One cup of low-fat or skim milk contains about 350 to 380 milligrams of potassium. And plain yogurt will net you more than 500 milligrams per cup (not to mention protein and healthy probiotics). 

7. Tomatoes

A cup of chopped tomatoes delivers more than 400 milligrams of potassium, while a cup of tomato juice or tomato puree more than 500 milligrams. Concentrated tomato paste is even richer in the mineral, with more than 650 milligrams per quarter-cup (marinara sauce, anyone?).

8. Bananas

These yellow fruits may be the best-known source of potassium. Indeed, one medium banana contains about 422 milligrams. Banana’s cousin, the plantain, is also a potassium-rich pick.

9. Other fruits

Bananas aren’t the only fruits filled with potassium. Cantaloupe, dates, nectarines and oranges all have more than 250 milligrams per half-cup serving. Dried peaches, apricots, prunes and raisins are good sources as well.

10. Avocadoes

As if you needed another reason to reach for the guacamole, a half-cup serving of creamy avocado contains about 364 milligrams of potassium.

From fruit salad to avocado toast, a fancy fish dinner to a bowl of tomatoey spaghetti, there are so many great ways to get your fill of potassium. Your health — and your taste buds — will thank you.

Simon Keighley Thanks for sharing this list of potassium-rich foods, Bobby - these are a great way to give your diet a health boost.
