Foods High in Potassium in Australia
Find Australian foods that supply potassium in realistic portions, alongside the usual per-100 g ranking.
Values come from the Australian food catalogue used by MorselMetrics. The practical ranking applies a typical serving estimate only to compare foods; it does not change the underlying food-composition data.

Top foods by a practical serve
This view asks: how much potassium might a normal serving of this food contribute? Serving sizes are comparison estimates, not dietary recommendations.

Top foods per 100 g
This view measures nutrient concentration. It is useful for comparing the composition of foods, but a 100 g amount may be much larger or smaller than a normal serving.

Why the rankings differ
Per 100 g tells you how concentrated a nutrient is. Per serve asks a different practical question: what amount might this food contribute when eaten in a more typical quantity? Dried herbs, powders, spreads and concentrates often look dominant per 100 g even though people usually eat much less than 100 g.
About the data
MorselMetrics uses Australian food-composition records, primarily the Australian Food Composition Database with reviewed AUSNUT records where applicable. Each row keeps its own source, and missing source values remain separate from true zeroes. Food composition varies by product, preparation and sample, and these rankings do not account for individual nutrient absorption.
