Dear gotoblack, The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services published a basic list of foods containing high amounts of potassium. Please follow this link [1] to access the list: http://www.health.gov/dietaryguidelines/dga2005/document/html/appendixB.htm If you need a much more extensive list of potassium-containing nutrients, issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, please follow this link [2]; note that the document is a PDF file: http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/Data/SR18/nutrlist/sr18w306.pdf You will get an extensive list of foods, sorted by their potassium content in descending order. For additional nutrition data, please follow this link [3]: http://www.ars.usda.gov/Services/docs.htm?docid=9673 I hope that these lists will help you increase your potassium intake!
