Foods High In Potassium #8: Acorn Squash
Acorn squash is an excellent source of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. In one cup of roasted acorn squash, you will find 650mg of potassium, making it another excellent source. Be sure to cut it in half and scoop out the seeds before roasting it. You can sprinkle some olive oil, salt and pepper and let it roast for about one hour at 375 degrees. The olive oil will help make beta-carotene more bioavailable and ready for absorption.
Try serving acorn squash as a side dish or top it with some granola and almond milk for a nutrient dense breakfast. It has a tender and sweet taste, making it delicious for desserts as well.
