Vitamin K sources
Vitamin K is present in a wide variety of foods. Good vitamin K sources include dark leafy greens - spinach, broccoli, brussels sprouts - and olive, canola and soybean oils.
Cabbage, carrots, avocados, cucumbers, leeks, tomatoes and dairy products such as yogurt are reasonable sources, and meats and cereals also contain some vitamin K.
Freezing foods may destroy vitamin K but it remains stable when heated.
