Since my wife recently had a Pulmonary Embolism we have to watch what foods she eats. Vitamin K is one thing she doesn’t want to get to much of as it will interact with her coumadin medication. We know to say away from green vegetables, but there are a lot of other foods high in vitamin K too.
We recently came across Ptinr.com, a great website that lets you put in any food and it’ll tell you if it’s high, medium or low in vitamin K. Did you know that Cheetos are high? Starbursts are low. Chocolate Milk is high. Chicken Nuggets are low. They also have a great, 10 page, print out of most foods and their vitamin K value that you can take with you.
Pintar’s Vitamin K Registry is by far the best resource we’ve found for looking up foods with vitamin K.
Thank you so much-I would not have found it by myself.
With my history of PE, I really appreciate the link to Pentar’s Vitamin K registry. There are many foods I’ve had which I had no idea caused elevation in Vit K levels.
Since March is DVT (pulmonary embolism) Awareness month, I blogged about it yesterday. Grandpa and I are newbie bloggers and would sure appreciate you dropping by to read by DVT Awareness post on my blog yesterday and leaving a comment? You can find us at Grandparents Cyber Corner.
Thanks again for the valuable Vitamin K registry link. I wish you all the best.

Thanks, thanks, thanks. I was having a lot of problems to identify food high in vitamin K and my blood tests were going lower every week. Now I can Identify what to eat and still maintain my levels. People who have survived PE are very lucky to be alive. Thanks for helping me stay that way for my family.
Thank you so much for the information on the ptinr.com website. I’m new to all of this and it gives me more information and guidance than any other sites I’ve found.
Just for information. Nice list. Would be good to include the amount per serving. This can vary from 1/4 c – 1 cup and the same with fluid oz. I have seen the amounts on other sites but not a total list like you have.
I found this info very useful, and will tell my grandmother about this useful information i have found for her. Thank you!
Very informative in ref to foods to avoid but no-one mentions drinks to avoid! How about, NA BEER, MILK, SODAS, REG TEA (NOT GREEN)??
We never really thought about beverages. Good question though.
