    dried apricots, potatoes, any sorts of beans/legumes, carrot juice (ick!) are all good sources of potassium (plus lots others...a quick google search will bring up a good list, just make sure it is from a reputable source!). also, eating a variety of fruits and veggies will give you a good mix of you vits!

    My hubby was worried about this, too, until he pointed out that the database doesn't really have a place to enter potassium when adding manually. Since many of the entries on the database are user-submitted, it's probably just that what you're logging from the database doesn't include the potassium content (among other vitamins and minerals).

    You can always check the full nutrition facts at other sites if you're concerned. I like this one:http://riley.nal.usda.gov/nal_display/index.php?info_center=4&tax_level=1&tax_subject=242.
