What foods are a good source of vitamin k?

Answer 1

Im pretty shure that Carrots have vitamin K...so eat lots of CARROTS!!! == Vitamin K is found in leafy green vegetables such as spinach and lettuce; Brassica vegetables such as kale, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts; wheat bran; organ meats; cereals; some fruits, such as avocado, kiwifruit and bananas; meats; cow milk and other dairy products; eggs; and soy products. Two tablespoons of parsley contains 153% of the recommended daily amount of vitamin K.

Answer 2

Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone or phytonadione) is a natural nutrient found in green leafy vegetables.

Vitamin K2 (menaquinones or MKs) in foods are mostly in the form of MK4 and MK7. You can convert vitamin K1 directly into MK4 within certain tissues in your body, and as long as you are getting enough vitamin K1, you are likely to be getting enough vitamin K2 (MK4 type). MK7 is a natural product of bacteria that live in your lower intestine. MK7 is also found in large amounts in the fermented Japanese soy product known as natto.

One cup of chopped, cooked broccoli has 220 mcg of Vitamin K.

One cup of raw, chopped kale has 437 mcg of Vitamin K.

One cup of raw spinach has 145 mcg of Vitamin K.

Answer 3

From research I've done for the past few months (I was put on Coumadin and preferred to avoid Vitamin K altogether), I only know of these K-free veggies: mushrooms, corn, canned beets, bamboo sprouts and fennel (which is more of a spice, really). The rest of vegetables have Vitamin K, though some have such a low amount it almost doesn't count (like turnips or seaweed).
