Potassium Update

First, it turns out that a tablespoon of horseradish has 44 mgs of potassium. Second, July is National Horseradish Month, and horseradish was named the 2011 Herb of the Year by the International Herb Association. Last (This just keeps getting better) horseradish has its own website: http://www.horseradish.org/ brought to you by The Horseradish Information Council.

The onion has a pretty significant potassium punch, too. A cup of onion has 234 mgs of it. As anyone would expect, the onion has its own PR people: The National Onion Association at http://www.onions-usa.org/. Of course they get all patriotic with the onions-usa bit, but horseradish took the big prize this year. Must have been a big upset for the onion people.
