18. Raspberries: The Low-Potassium Berry Delight
For berry lovers, raspberries are a wonderful low-potassium option. A cup of these delicate, juicy berries contains approximately 186 milligrams of potassium, making them a safe and enjoyable addition to a low-potassium diet.
Raspberries, with their tart-sweet flavor and attractive ruby-red color, are a pleasure to eat in a variety of ways. They can be eaten fresh, sprinkled over yogurt or cereal, blended into smoothies, or used as a topping for desserts. They’re also used to make jellies, jams, and desserts, and even savory raspberry-based sauces to accompany meats.
In addition to their low potassium content, raspberries offer other valuable nutrients. They’re high in fiber, promoting good digestive health, and are an excellent source of vitamin C, supporting immune function. Plus, they’re rich in antioxidants, protecting the body against oxidative stress.(*)
