Hello Downshire, Looks like the National Kidney Foundation has a pretty extensive list of low (and high) potassium foods. Low potassium foods include apples, carrots, corn, grapes and cucumbers. Portion size is important, however. Eating more than 1 portion can make a lower potassium food into a higher potassium food, they say. They also offer a list of high potassium foods so you know which to avoid. High potassium foods include apricots, bananas, cantelope and oranges. They even give you instructions for leaching high potassium foods so you can still enjoy them.
