15. Lettuce: A Low-Potassium Foundation for Fresh Salads
Lettuce is a low-potassium leafy green, with iceberg lettuce containing just 141 mg of potassium per 100 grams. (12) It’s also low in calories and a good source of vitamin A, making it a healthy and potassium-friendly option for those looking to enjoy fresh salads or lettuce wraps.
There are many ways to enjoy lettuce in your low-potassium diet. Create a refreshing salad by combining lettuce with other low-potassium vegetables, like bell peppers, cucumbers, and carrots, and top it with a low-potassium dressing, such as lemon juice and olive oil. Alternatively, you can use lettuce leaves as a low-carb substitute for bread or tortillas, creating lettuce wraps filled with your favorite low-potassium ingredients. By incorporating lettuce into your meals, you’ll add a fresh, low-potassium element to your diet that’s both tasty and nutritious.
