Fish
Most meats provide a good amount of potassium: 100 grams of ground beef offers 302 milligrams and the same serving of chicken (with the skin) has 292 milligrams. Still, certain groups of fish beat these land-based options.
For instance, half a fillet (150 grams) of cooked cod offers 12% of the DV, while a whole fillet (145 grams) of haddock provided 11%. Similarly, half a fillet (152 grams) of tuna provides 17% of the DV, and the same serving of cooked salmon boasts 21% of the DV.
Plus, fatty fish such as tuna and salmon are high in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, which are known to lower the risk of heart disease.
