5. Bell Peppers: Add a Crunch to Your Low-Potassium Diet
Looking at the vegetable category, bell peppers are a flavorful and colorful addition to a low-potassium diet. A medium-sized bell pepper contains about 150-200 milligrams of potassium, depending on the color. This makes them a safe choice for those looking to add some veggies to their meals without increasing potassium levels significantly.
Bell peppers are a wonderful addition to many dishes, bringing a delightful crunch and vibrant color. They can be enjoyed raw in salads or as part of a crudité platter with some low-potassium dip. Alternatively, they can be cooked in a variety of ways – sautéed, roasted, or stuffed, adding a nutritious and tasty element to your meal.(*)
