I’m confused about the amount of potassium in this recipe. Because every different website I go to get potassium amounts, I get widely differing answers. Nutritiondata.com says 1 cup of cooked swiss chard has 961 mg of potassium. Another website says it has around 350 mg. Who do you trust?

Really good. Next time, we will be adding the lemon juice and vinegar a tsp at a time to taste. Lemon was over powering.
