Green leafy vegetables like swiss chard, spinach, and beet greens all contain high amounts of various nutrients and minerals, including potassium. When served raw, they can have between 140-290 mg of potassium per cup. Despite the fact that leafy vegetables tend to shrink when cooked, the potassium content stays the same.
