Vegetarian foods high in Vitamin K (USDA SR Legacy)

Many people think vitamin K matters only for blood clotting. It does that job, but it also activates proteins that anchor calcium into bone. Your body needs 120 mcg daily to run both processes. The ranking below shows which foods deliver the most per 100 g.

Leafy greens concentrate vitamin K far more than other foods. The pattern is so strong that it can skew the list. If you eat a small serving of these vegetables, you may cover your whole day's requirement with one dish.

FDA daily value: 120 mcg
