'''Potassium''' ion is a nutrient necessary for human life and health. Potassium chloride is used as a substitute for table [[salt]] by those seeking to reduce sodium intake so as to control hypertension. The USDA lists [[tomato paste]], [[orange juice]], [[beet greens]], [[white beans]], [[bananas]], and many other good dietary sources of potassium, ranked according to potassium content per measure shown.

Potassium sodium tartrate, or Rochelle salt (KNaC4H4O6) is the main constituent of [[baking powder]]. Potassium bromate (KBrO3) is a strong oxidiser, used as a [[flour]] improver (E924) to improve dough strength and rise height.

The sulfite compound, potassium bisulfite (KHSO3) is used as a food preservative, for example in wine and beer-making (but not in meats).
