Potassium is abundant in many food products, particularly fruits and vegetables. Sources such as bananas, leafy green vegetables, beans, and nuts are all included in this rundown.
Bananas
For sure, this popular yellow fruit would have to be on top of this list.
A medium banana has around 422 milligrams of potassium in it. Another option rich in potassium is its cousin, the plantain.
Leafy green vegetables
Potassium levels in a half-cup portion of cooked spinach can reach about 400 milligrams.
Other leafy greens like Swiss chard, Brussel sprouts, and beet greens also contain good amounts of this mineral.

Legumes
Beans are an excellent source of potassium. Each half-cup portion of white beans and adzuki beans has around 600 milligrams.
Wheres, lima, navy, pinto, and Great Northern beans provide more than 350 mg of potassium per half-cup serving. Soybeans (edamame) and lentils are also rich in potassium.
Potatoes
Did you know that potatoes are much more nutritious with their skin on? It is known that one baked potato with skin has over 900 mg of potassium as compared to a skinless one at approximately 500 milligrams.
