DASH stands for Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension. It is developed by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute of America. This diet emphasises high intake potassium and low intake of sodium (along with low intake of fat and animal based proteins).
Therefore DASH dieters consume a lot of fruits and vegetables because these foods are high in potassium and magnesium, which we need for blood pressure regulation and control.

Also please note that some people following low sodium diet use Featherweight Baking Powder, and Herb-ox Low-Sodium bullion as they both have potassium (featherweight has potassium bicarbonate. Herb-Ox has potassium chloride).
