16. Onions: A Flavorful, Low-Potassium Aromatic
Onions are a low-potassium aromatic vegetable, containing just 146 mg of potassium per 100 grams. (13) They’re also a good source of vitamin C and dietary fiber. Onions are widely used in cooking for their unique flavor and aroma, making them a versatile addition to a variety of dishes.
You can incorporate onions into your low-potassium diet by using them as a base for soups, stews, or casseroles. They can also be sautéed with other low-potassium vegetables, like bell peppers or zucchini, for a tasty and potassium-friendly side dish. For a more unique twist, try caramelizing onions to bring out their natural sweetness and serve them as a topping for grilled chicken, steak, or even a low-potassium pizza. Including onions in your low-potassium diet will not only add depth and flavor to your dishes but also provide a valuable source of nutrients.
