I know that you lose the potassium when you boil potatoes, so is the same true for prepared beans that come in a can? Obviously, it's still in the water, but I don't know how much leaches out and how much water the canning process retains.
A 1-cup serving of ham contains about 362mg of potassium. A 1-cup serving of cooked beans, such as kidney beans, contains about 607mg of potassium.
Yes, potassium is healthy. Also, if you ever needed some carrots, beans, bananas etc. contain potassium.
According to the USDA there are 358 Mg of Potassium in Kidney Beans.
By eating bananas, oranges, potatoes, tomatoes, beans or drinking wines.
Potassium, fiber, protein, iron, magnesium, and carbohydrates.
Not high, but pretty good. 100 grams (1/2 cup) will give you about 1/7 of your daily potassium needs.
Some banana alternatives that are rich in potassium include sweet potatoes, white potatoes, spinach, avocado, and beans.
You can get potassium from a large variety of foods, many people just think bananas but there are some from every food group! Apricots, avocados, carrot juice, lima beans, soy beans, and potatoes are just a few examples. http://www.vaughns-1-pagers.com/food/potassium-foods.htm
Probably the most well known, bananas are an excellent source of potassium. However potassium can also be found in orange juice, fish, nuts, beans, and chocolate.
Bananas are frequently mentioned, but there are many others. The general categories of foods that are high potassium foods are the whole foods - vegetables, fruits (especially if dried) and legumes. Most lean meats, lean fish, and wild game have high amounts of potassium. Grains without the bran (i.e., not whole grain) are low in potassium. All legumes are high potassium foods -- kidney beans, lentils, garbanzo beans (chickpeas), black beans, pinto beans are high potassium foods. Fresh foods are best. Some dried fruits are good sources -- raisins, dried apricots. Canned foods may be okay if not high in sodium, which is a frequent component of food preservatives use in canned foods. When cooking high potassium foods, steaming or broiling or microwaving is the best way to prepare the food. Boiling draws the potassium out of the food into the water. If the food is boiled, the water should be consumed to get the potassium into your body.
Eating beets helps with replenishing potassium levels the quickest. Also, try lima beans. If these are not available, then a banana is an ideal source.
Green beans are rich in essential vitamins such as vitamin C, vitamin K, and vitamin A. They also contain important minerals like manganese, potassium, and folate.
