  Good source of potassium as well. Although you’d need to eat 1.25 kilo to reach 100% recommended daily intake.

    What’s the definition of “good source” employed here?

      I’m basing it on spinach which stinging nettles is only 25% worse than on potassium levels. I think a baked potato might be twice as good though, but I think I’d rather try and eat 1.25 kg of stinging needles in a day than 625 gr of baked potato.

        I don’t think most people even consume 1.25kg of food in total per day. It seems implausible that one would have to supplement with a substantial quantity of 0 calorie greens just to get enough of a common and essential mineral. Which makes me think that the K content is average at best and rather less than common food stuffs.

    is that 1.25kg raw or cooked down? because raw isn’t actually that much, it’d cook down to like 2 micrograms following the law of leafy greens

      I got the data from here and here, and I believe it’s raw. So yeah, if you cook it down it’s probably not too bad.
