What are some high-potassium food options to help maintain electrolyte balance during long rides?

[shorty]

Tamarinds offer potassium and a lower sugar impact than bananas. Yet, don't overlook legumes or leafy greens, rich in potassium and suitable for pre-ride meals. I find blending greens into smoothies works, while hummus with veggies can be a savory cycling snack. How about you? Ever tried savory pre-ride meals or snacks?

Tamarinds and legumes are intriguing alternatives, but let’s not kid ourselves—how practical are they during a ride? Blending greens is great for smoothies, but mid-ride, who’s whipping out a blender? If we’re aiming for convenience, are we just stuck with bananas? Or are there truly portable, potassium-rich options that don't require a degree in snack engineering? What’s the most bizarre yet effective potassium source you've actually tried while cycling?
