This begs the question “Are beans high or low in potassium?”
The answer is that all the legumes (beans) in the table are low potassium foods, having less than 100 mg potassium per serving. Very few legume (bean) based foods are low in potassium. As a group they are considered high potassium foods. However, the foods in this table are processed, mostly from soy. The processing usually adds sodium.
While we were researching we ran into the query “What kind of beans have the most potassium?”.
Most beans have 250 mg or more potassium in 1/2 cup, which is high. So beans must be planned, with attention to how much and how often to include them. A couple of lower potassium choices include green peas with 88 mg and garbanzo beans with 173 mg in 1/2 cup.
Are bananas high in potassium?
A banana has an overall nutritional value score of 16 out of 100, whereas Beans, snap, green, raw has a nutritional value score of 26 out of 100. The highest content of potassium in the food items under the general description or type of beans, is Beans, white, mature seeds, raw with 1795 mg of potassium per 100g.
Well, in addition to phosphorus, another concern when including legumes is potassium. Most beans have 250 mg or more potassium in 1/2 cup, which is high. So beans must be planned, with attention to how much and how often to include them. A couple of lower potassium choices include green peas with 88 mg and garbanzo beans with 173 mg in 1/2 cup.
What are the best sources of potassium in food?
Lima beans, another dry legume, is an even better source of potassium. One cup of boiled unsalted beans contains 969 mg of potassium or 28 percent of your DV. Other potassium-rich vegetables include artichokes, beets, Brussels sprouts, Swiss chard, collard greens, okra, parsnips, potatoes, sweet potatoes, spinach and tomatoes.
One of the next things we wanted the answer to was what are the best sources of potassium?
Beans are unique among good sources of potassium because they also provide plenty of high-quality protein. Not surprisingly, in the Adventist Health Study-2, a large epidemiologic study involving more than 33,000 people, those who ate the most beans and foods made from plant proteins were the least likely to suffer a hip fracture.
