Liquid should be drained from all canned fruits and vegetables and rinsed before serving. Potatoes may be peeled, sliced thin, and soaked in water for at least 4 hours or overnight before rinsing and cooking. Leafy green vegetables (collards, spinach, and kale) should also be soaked for at least 4 hours and rinsed well before cooking. This helps to significantly lower the amount of potassium in these foods. Check labels for words that include potassium, such as potassium chloride, to avoid potassium hidden in foods. Avoid salt substitutes; many of them contain potassium. Salt-free herb blends and spices are acceptable. Limit foods that are high in potassium.
