Which set of foods is high in potassium?

• A. Bananas, potatoes, tomatoes, avocados
• B. Rice, bread, sugar, butter
• C. Apples, milk, eggs, cheese
• D. Meat, chicken, fish, yogurt

Answer: (A)

Potassium is a key electrolyte needed for proper nerve signaling, muscle function, and heart rhythm. To boost potassium intake, choose foods that are naturally rich in this mineral. Bananas, potatoes (with skin), tomatoes, and avocados are classic high-potassium foods from different parts of the diet. Bananas provide a quick, portable source; potatoes offer a large amount when eaten with the skin; tomatoes contribute potassium in a wide range of dishes; avocados are dense in potassium and add healthy fats. This combination yields a high overall potassium content. The other options include items that are not as potassium-dense, such as refined grains, sugars, fats, or foods that provide only modest amounts of potassium, so they don’t meet potassium needs as effectively.
