For those looking for the health benefits of improved blood pressure, reduced osteoporosis and less risk of kidney stones – all of which you get from high potassium foods, fruits are a tasty way to go.

Autumn is a great time to go for hikes and take in all those great fall colors. Dried fruits are a great snack to take along. They pack a lot of nutrition in a small, light package.

The values in the table are for a 100 grams of food (about 3 1/2 ounces). The potassium and sodium are in milligrams.
