A Varied List of Foods
with Potassium

Whether you are suffering from high blood pressure or not, an extensive list of foods with potassium will help support cellular health.

Potassium is a mineral that is not stored in the body like other minerals, therefore, you an ample source every day. It is essential for the body’s cells to live.

Most foods contain some potassium, but you may need to select those types rich in potassium to support the body`s fight against disease.

I have grouped the foods into 4 categories for easier selection depending on each individual`s need or condition.

The foods are listed by their potassium content; from very rich, rich, very good, to good.

The Very Rich Category of Foods with Potassium

  1. Dulse - seaweed
  2. Kelp - seaweed
  3. Sunflower seed
  4. Wheat germ

  8. Brazil nut
  9. Lettuce
  10. Endives
  11. Lambs quarters
  12. Radish
  13. Chinese cabbage
  14. Dandelion root

    Foods, abundant in potassium should be sought after if this mineral is being leached from your system through diuretics or other drugs. Take caution when doing so. Either ask your doctor if the drugs you are taking increase or decrease potassium levels, or look at the information/side effects slip that comes with your prescription.
