Foods High In Potassium #5: Dried Fruits
Dried fruits are pretty high in sugar and lack the amount of fiber and water content that whole fruits would have, however they are concentrated with several nutrients, including potassium. When the fruit is dehydrated, they become more concentrated. One cup can get you about one third of the recommended daily potassium level or about 1500 milligrams.
Consider incorporating a few dried apricots, peaches, raisins or figs in your daily diet. These concentrated sources of potassium can add a nice touch to a salad or mixed with nuts as a snack. Be sure to purchase the ones that are unsweetened to avoid adding additional sugar.
