Eight Foods That Have Even More Potassium Than a BananaCheap, plentiful and delicious, the banana is both a breakfast and midday snack favorite, but the fruit is especially known for being one of the best sources for one of potassium out there. Because bananas are so popular and pretty much everyone eats them, it’s generally assumed that everyone is also getting enough potassium in their diet. But that assumption couldn’t be further from the truth! Believe it or not, Americans are woefully deficient in potassium. The recommended intake for adults for potassium is 4,700 mg per day, but yet the average potassium intake for Americans is ju... read more
