Quick Reference Guide to Foods that are High and Low in vitamin K

American Heart Association

Eating an increased amount of foods rich in vitamin K can make warfarin less effective and potentially increasing the risk of blood clots. Patients who take warfarin should aim to eat a relatively similar amount of vitamin K each week. The highest amount of vitamin K is found in green and leafy vegetables such as broccoli, lettuce, and spinach. It is not necessary to avoid these foods; however, it is important to try to keep the amount of vitamin K you eat consistent.Also available in Spanish
