Apricots

Apricots have high levels of vitamin A, vitamin C, fiber and potassium. The potassium content of dried apricots is even higher. If you compare a cup of fresh apricots to a cup of dried ones, the former contains 427 mg of potassium while the latter has over 1,500 mg of potassium. Therefore, a cup of dried apricots is already 75 percent of the 2,000 mg restriction on potassium.

Potatoes and Sweet Potatoes

Both potatoes and sweet potatoes have high potassium levels. Thankfully, you can soak or leach potatoes and sweet potatoes to lower their potassium contents. If you cut potatoes into small and thin pieces and then boil them for 10 minutes or longer, you can reduce the potassium by around 50%. Potatoes which are soaked in water for 4 hours or longer before cooking have a lower potassium content than the ones that are not soaked before cooking.
