How Much Potassium Does A Banana Contain?

There is typically at least 450 mg of potassium in each and every delicious banana. Not a bad source for 20 percent of you daily value, though not an extraordinary source either.

While bananas are a sweet and tasty snack, there are many foods common to our diet that contain significantly more potassium: beans, for example, or potatoes. However, beans and potatoes are often served cooked, which leaches much of the potassium in the process.
