 I prefer Avocados for my potassium fix. 1 avocado is 3X as much as 1 banana.

 I work for a grocery store....

Bananas are shipped in an oxygen free container, which stops them from ripening. The moment that seal is broken, they start to ripen. Boss #1 had a thing about bananas... I've gotten more than one lecture. There are 8 stages of ripeness, most people end up buying them at stage 3. Laying the bananas on the counter, hitting the end of the banana, and a high temp environment will make them ripen faster.

 Oh, I hear you on those nightly leg cramps; they've plagued me for years.

I eat bananas when they have a few spots, as they taste sweeter to me at that point. Where I buy mine, they tend to be still in various stages of green, but will turn ripe within two to three days.

I have noticed that if they've been close to something that gives off heat (coffee pot, toaster, etc), that they tend to get ripe very fast. I have set them in a wire bowl in a cool place (not the pantry), and this seems to be better; they don't turn as fast under other situations.

I take a 100 mg potassium pill at night with dinner, or right before bedtime. This has worked for me 99% of the time for leg cramps at night; I don't experience them nearly as much as I did. Keeping up on your daily intake of water also helps. Doc has told me that you sweat out a liter a day just by regular breathing, and more so in hotter months. So water, water, water.
