Tomatoes are an excellent source of potassium. They can be consumed in several different forms, including tomato paste, which can be used in soups or sauces. It can also be hidden in dishes such as chili, for those who prefer not to eat tomatoes.

Tomatoes contain more than 1800 mg of potassium per cup, this would be 50% of your DRA amount. They are low in fat, but paired with healthy fats as olive oil, their nutrient profile is enhanced. 

Tomatoes are also an excellent source of vitamin C and fiber to promote overall digestive and immune health.
