Yes: One cup of canned spinach has about 1,000% of your RDA of vitamin K. Cooking veggies that are high in vitamin K seems to have no effect on the vitamin K content.

The reason you don't see the vitamin K content on nutritiondata.com is because it is not required by the FDA - so they show the required listing of vitamins that a certain company has provided.

For a person on blood thinners, misinformation about vitamin K can be deadly. Too much vitamin K will cause your INR to plummet, thereby rendering the blood thinners useless and increasing your chances of blood clots.

You can find this information on plenty of other websites if you are so inclined. For example, a list of foods containing Vitamin K can be found in the Related Link, below.
