good sources of potassium



Recently someone posted a question about feeding bananas.  Bananas 
are a good source of potassium, but a far better choice would be 
baked potatoes, with skin.  1 medium potato supplies about 800-900 mg 
of potassium as compared to the 400 mgs in 1 banana.  Travel better, 
too!  The most popular trail food for the ultramarathoners at the 
Vermont 100 is cooked potatoes, which are then dipped in salt.  The 
runners can eat these easily while moving, and they provide:  good 
water content, carbs, and electrolytes.  Perhaps horses would also go 
for this?
