10 High Potassium Foods
Filed under Nutrition | Comments (9)
While bananas are known for their high potassium content (one medium banana has 422 mg), there are many other foods that are a great source of this important nutrient. Here are ten:
Avocados
One avocado has 975 mg of potassium.
Cantaloupe
One cup of cubed cantaloupe has 427 mg.
Tomatoes
One cup of chopped or sliced tomatoes has 427 mg.
Crimini mushrooms
One cup of whole Crimini mushrooms has 390 mg.
Swiss chard
Two Swiss chard leaves have 364 mg.
Spinach
Two cups of raw spinach has 335 mg.
Broccoli
One cup of raw, chopped broccoli has 287 mg.
Celery
One cup of chopped celery has 263 mg.
Romaine lettuce
Two cups of shredded Romaine has 232 mg.
Collard Greens
One cup of cooked collard greens has 220 mg.
Potassium is indeed one important factor for our nutrition and overall body health. I've also read about flax seed having a high-potassium content (much higher than that of banana). Besides having a high-potassium content, flax seed also has a myriad of nutrients and health benefits that definitely should be added on the list...
For those looking for a low potassium diet - or any kind of diet for that matter - I recommend the web site: www.nutritiondata.com. There are a lot of myths out there about foods with high potassium. On this website you can check individual foods, cooked, raw, as well as find foods that are, for example, high in iron but low in potassium.
Hi ,
My name is Greg Cappello and I am the Vice President and Co-Founder of Fitspott.com, a social networking platform for health and fitness launching in mid-september.
As a personal trainer for the past few years I really enjoy and appreciate the ever changing fitness industry. About a year ago I made a decision to leverage my technology capabilities to help improve communication across the entire health and fitness industry. In doing research for this venture I discovered the popular social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace have reached a critical mass which is making it hard for individual industries to maximize the value these type of sites were
built to offer.
Fitspott is a social networking platform specifically designed for the
health and fitness industry. We are focused on bringing together 3
distinct segments of this industry and maximize communication and
attainment of goals in every sense of the word.
These 3 segments include: Exercise leaders (personal trainers,
coaches, etc.), Members (exercise enthusiasts of all levels) and
Organizations (health clubs, healthy restaurants, etc.).
Please follow this link to view our About Us page. There you can download our marketing information packet which gives a brief but informative overview of my company.

I just wanted to introduce myself as I believe our platform offers a direct
benefit to your audience and business. I welcome and appreciate any insight you can
offer us both before and after we launch.
Thank you for your time.

Potassium is good for high blood pressure. I have some foods better than the above. A medium potato has 800 mg and a glass of orange juice has 500 mg of potassium. A tablespoon of organic blackstrap moasses has 720 mg of potassium.
