What are some good foods that are high in potassium? I can eat the occasional banana, but don't like them every day.

    Potatoes in their skins , most vegg and fruit have reasonable levels , I am suspicious of the data base entries for fruits , veg and grains that have a 0 value for it as they almost all contain some. Try using the USDA labeled entries to get a better overall number

    You can get lite salt which has a lot of potassium.

    Dried apricots are a phenomenal source of potassium.

    Tomatoes, potatoes, and lite salt are all wonderful sources. Tomatoes are also super low calorie and have fiber and tons of vitamins, too. If you don't like them plain, make a homemade spaghetti sauce and put it on top of some "zoodles" or whatever spiralized veggie pasta you prefer.

    Thank you all so much. :) I will add tomatoes to salads. Shouldn't have said dried apricots... Those things are addictive.
