They also add potassium-like benefits indirectly through being a vegetable choice and bring a bit of natural sweetness from sugar (about 3.4 g), while staying low in calories (about 27 kcal) and fat (about 0.2 g). Since they\u2019re not very salty (sodium about 1 mg), they\u2019re a good option to pair with viands without pushing your meal too heavy in salt.
