(1) Potassium-supplementing fruits

The potassium content in fruit foods is generally lower than that in vegetables, such as our usual apples, pears, tangerines, oranges, The potassium content in fruits such as peaches, watermelons, and grapes is only about 50 to 150 mg per 100 g. Only some tropical (or subtropical) fruits contain higher potassium content (per 100 g): such as bananas (208 mg), durian ( 261 mg), sour papaya (260 mg); dried fruit foods have relatively high potassium content: such as dried jujubes (486 mg), dried figs (898 mg), and longan (891 mg).

Bananas are recognized as one of the foods richest in potassium. Bananas are widely distributed, easy to chew, and taste sweet, so they are deeply loved by people. One medium banana provides about 300 milligrams of potassium.

(2) Potassium-supplementing vegetables

There are many kinds of radish among root vegetables, but the potassium content of different varieties of radish varies greatly. For example, the potassium content in 100 grams of carrots is 119 mg, that of green radish is as high as 248 mg, and that of round white radish is only 14 mg.

Fresh beans are rich in potassium, such as lentils, cowpeas, green beans, etc., containing about 180 mg per 100 grams, but the more popular sweet and crispy snow peas only contain 18 mg. ; Among bean sprouts, 100 grams of soybean sprouts contain 175 mg of potassium, while 100 grams of mung bean sprouts only contain 32 mg.

Among eggplants, white-skinned eggplants have higher potassium content than purple-skinned eggplants, with 238 mg of potassium per 100 grams (purple-skinned eggplants only have 150 mg); cherry tomatoes have higher potassium content than ordinary ones. Tomatoes are high, with a potassium content of 262 mg per 100 g (ordinary tomatoes are only 179 mg); the potassium content in dried peppers is as high as 991 mg per 100 g, but due to small consumption, the actual intake of potassium is not high.

Among melons, pumpkin has the highest potassium content, up to 445 mg per 100 grams. In addition, pumpkin is also rich in antioxidant nutrients such as carotene, vitamin E, and rich dietary fiber. , therefore, it is an ideal food for patients with cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension; most other melons, such as cucumbers, loofah, etc., have a moderate potassium content, between 100 and 150 mg per 100 grams, but winter melon has a relatively high potassium content. Low, only 57mg per 100g.

Among stems, leaves, cauliflower and onions and garlic vegetables, lettuce leaves, water spinach, cabbage, kale, etc. have the highest potassium content, exceeding 300 mg per 100 grams; Vegetables, cauliflower, etc. are next, with potassium content exceeding 200 mg per 100 g; most of the rest are between 100 and 200 mg per 100 g; while cabbage, celery, asparagus, etc. have particularly low potassium content, less than 50 mg per 100 g. mg.

The potassium content of bacteria and algae foods is relatively high. For example, the white mushrooms we often eat contain 350 mg of potassium per 100 grams, while the more expensive straw mushrooms only have 53 mg per 100 grams; dried shiitake mushrooms, tea tree mushrooms, kelp, fungus, etc. have potassium content of 350 mg per 100 grams. The potassium content can reach more than 700~3000 mg.

Among other types of vegetables (onions, garlic, aquatic and wild vegetables), those with higher potassium content (per 100 grams): leeks (241 mg), lotus root (293 mg), chicory vegetables (350 mg).
