Nutrition Round-Up
1) Where do I find the potassium content of foods? (source: Nutrition Data)
Q. My husband needs to reduce potassium/sodium levels in what he eats. I find the sodium levels but potassium is rarely listed. How do I find this?
A. Information about sodium is required on the nutrition facts label but information about potassium is optional–and many manufacturers don’t include it. The ingredient list won’t contain many clues, either. Products that are marketed as “heart-healthy” are more likely to list potassium content, by the way. Usually, these are foods that are relatively high in potassium and low in sodium.
