Alternative sources of potassium to the banana?

Question

I have started working out recently and my muscles hurt to say the least. I heard potassium helps with that and that bananas are a good source of it. The thing is that I hate the taste of bananas. Is there a natural source of that out there in another fruit or vegetable, or is my only option to take potassium in pill form?
