The FDA has now confirmed what studies prove: Potassium-rich foods help stop strokes, which hit half a million Americans every year! This mineral also fights high blood pressure, something 50 million of us suffer from. And now, foods with at least 350 mg of potassium per serving (10% of the Daily Value) can remind you of this on their labels.

Not sure what has potassium? Fat-free and 1% milk, low-fat yogurt, vegetable juice cocktail, baby limas, kidney beans and lentils are all rich in potassium. But see below for 12 super-rich sources.

Caution: If you have kidney disease or take a diuretic medication, you may need to avoid high-potassium foods; check with your doctor.
