How much potassium is in a banana?

Answer by  Carol37 (569)

There are 467 mg of potassium in the average yellow banana. There is only 1 mg of sodium so it helps a lot in keeping a balance between potassium and sodium. Since so much of our food has a lot of sodium, particularly canned goods, a banana can really help.
