Frequently asked questions
Which food has the most potassium per 100 g?
Parsley, freeze-dried tops this database with 6300 mg per 100 g — 134% of the adult Daily Value. The ranking is per 100 g, which is not the same as a serving.
How much potassium do I need per day?
The Daily Value for Potassium is 4700 mg for adults (FDA reference). Your own needs can differ by age, sex and health — this page shows reference data, not a recommendation.
Should I eat more of the top foods on this list?
These rankings compare amounts per 100 g, not meals. A varied diet matters more than any single food or nutrient, and amounts above what you need are not automatically better. Before taking supplements, talk to a healthcare professional.
