Here is a list with foods with potassium and no sodium. The source of data is the USDA National Nutrient Database Standard Reference – Release 22. The unit of measurement is milligrams for potassium and sodium. The middle of the list has some of the most useful foods – the most potassium for the amount of calories in a serving. If you buy the food packaged, check the label for sodium – many foods have sodium added as a preservative when packaged. You should try to consume at least 3 times as much potassium as sodium. The Institute of Medicine recommends 4.7 grams (4700 milligrams) of potassium a day and 1.5 grams of sodium.
