Apricots
Apricots have high amounts of vitamin C, vitamin A, and fiber. They’re also high in potassium. Just one cup of fresh apricots has 427 mg of potassium. Not to mention that the potassium content is even concentrated in dried apricots. One cup of dried apricots has more than 1,500 mg of potassium. Meaning that one cup of dried apricots has 75% of the 2,000 mg low-potassium restriction. It’s best for people with kidney disease to avoid apricots, mainly dried apricots.

Potatoes and Sweet Potatoes
Potatoes and sweet potatoes both have high potassium levels. One medium-sized baked potato contains 610 mg of potassium, whereas one average-sized baked sweet potato has 541 mg of potassium. Thankfully, some high-potassium foods like potatoes and sweet potatoes can be soaked or leached to reduce their potassium contents. Cutting potatoes into small, thin pieces and boiling them for a minimum of 10 minutes can reduce the potassium content by around 50%. In addition, potatoes that are soaked in a large pot of water for at least 4 hours before cooking are proven to have an even lower potassium content than those not soaked before cooking.
