@lucillelucillelucille I’m sorry. I just discovered it yesterday, and I had to use it. But I actually did google it for myself and I didn’t find what you were looking for

@Aesthetic_Mess -I thought it was pretty funny :) I haven’t seen that in awhile.Not since @Cruiser sent me that.XD
I suppose I could look up the plants individually,but I was hoping for an itemized chart,like under the heading potassium,it would list common plants that are high in it.

Sorry @lucillelucillelucille! I did not quite catch on to the potassium thing at first.
Here is a list of foods, many of which are plants, that are high in potassium.

@marinelife -It’s not your fault.I think it was the way I posted the Q. I wasn’t looking for potassium only,just a listing of what elements/minerals certain plants are high in.A kind of “at a glance” chart of these things.Thank you for trying :)

If it’s not too late…

I did a search for “potassium rich foods”, which gave me this link near the top of the list. Though I’m loathe to provide commercial links when I don’t know the vendor, the nice thing about this one is the sidebar on the left that shows “xxxxx-rich foods” for several different elements. So I thought it might be helpful.
