Guest guest Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 I'd like to know more sources. Thanks. From: <fonzer> Subject: Re: potassium source Date: Tuesday, August 11, 2009, 2:21 PM Coconut water has about 650mg of potassium per 11oz. OJ has a lot of potassium too, though not as much as coconut water. The downside is the sugar content. You can also by potassium gluconate for very little money. A pound costs about $7.50 and has 540mg per teaspoon. If you want more sources, let me know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 You can reduce the sugar content by culturing it either with whey or water kefir grains, or kefir starter powder, as I've been doing lately. For me the downside is just the expense of coconut water.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Are you culturing orange juice with water kefir grains?

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 I haven't tried that. The instructions from CulturesForHealth.com said citrus juice could harm the grains. I have cultured water with lemon juice (and sugar) and it worked great. (They recommend adding lemon). I've also combined coconut water with apple juice, done straight apple juice, plain sugar water.... I like mixing it up. I just realized 's reference to " the downside is it has a lot of sugar " was referring to the orange juice. To me, plain coconut water tastes too sweet so I like it cultured.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Is potassium gluconate as good as food sources of potassium?
