Coriander - tablespoon (dried) = 80 mg of potassium

Coriander is widely used in Indian food. A delight to the palate indeed, but it has other locked in delights. Did you know that coriander is known to reduce stress, act as an antioxidant, is an anti-inflammatory and is known as a potassium rich food.

When you buy coriander, buy the whole seed to make sure you are getting it’s full strength of nutrients. Crushed coriander seed looses some of the potassium, vitamin C and other nutrients.

Why not try a raw potassium rich food drink called Potassium Punch. It is the recipe of a late raw food specialist, Dr Norman Walker? You take a couple of sprigs of fresh coriander, 4 leafs of winter greens of lettuce, a half cup of spinach or watercress, 3 carrots, and 2 stalks of celery. Put them all in a juicer and drink.
