| Some time ago someone on the NG mentioned having cramps from time to
time and taking a dietary suppliment of magnesium and potassium to get
relief.
I thought there must be a better way to get these nutrients, one that
has other food value as well. bananas, oranges
sesame seeds
"Let's look at some of the mineral values of the sesame seed. One
tablespoon of hulled seeds contains .62 mg of iron, 27.73 mg of
magnesium, 32.53 mg potassium, and .82 mg of zinc. Figures for the
natural, unhulled, are slightly higher. Sesame seeds also contain
healthy amounts of phosphorous. If you're lacking iron, turn to the
sesame seed. Its iron content is equal to that of liver. "
