Apricots
Apricots have high levels of fiber, vitamin C, vitamin A, and potassium. There is 427 mg of potassium in a cup of fresh apricots while there is over 1,500 mg of potassium in a cup of dried apricots. It’s best for people who have kidney disease to stay away from apricots, especially dried ones.
Potatoes and Sweet Potatoes
Potatoes and sweet potatoes contain high amounts of potassium. Thankfully, you can reduce the potassium contents of potatoes and sweet potatoes by soaking or leaching them. You can reduce the amount of potassium in potatoes by around 50 percent when you cut them into small, thin pieces and boil them for at least 10 minutes. Potatoes soaked in water for a minimum of 4 hours before cooking contain even lower amounts of potassium than those that are not soaked.
