Foods High in Vitamin K
Quick answer
Parsley comes first with 1,640 µg per 100 g. 59 foods in the CalorTracker database qualify, ranked highest first.
To qualify, a food needs vitamin K of at least 24 µg per 100 g, a fifth of the FDA Daily Value for vitamin K and the FDA's cutoff for a high claim on a label. 59 foods reach it, and Parsley comes first at 1,640 µg per 100 g.
Leaves lead the table: leafy greens such as spinach and kale, and leafy herbs where the database has them. Oils and dressings also appear in USDA's data; they are eaten by the spoonful, not by the 100 g these rows describe, so check a food's portions before comparing.

How this list is calculated
Foods are ranked by vitamin K per 100 g, highest first. Every value is computed from the USDA FoodData Central record behind each food's page, which CalorTracker stores per 100 g. Nothing is estimated or rounded before ranking, and foods with equal values are ordered by name.
USDA values are for the food as sold or cooked, so a fortified food such as a breakfast cereal shows the vitamins and minerals added to it.
This list draws on every food in the CalorTracker food database (461 foods). A food qualifies with vitamin K of at least 24 µg per 100 g. A food USDA has no measurement for is left out, never counted as zero. The cutoff is 20% of the FDA Daily Value for vitamin K, the share the FDA uses for a "high in" claim on a label; here it is applied to 100 g, not to a label serving.
59 foods qualify; the table shows the first 50.
Every number comes from USDA FoodData Central, the US government's food composition database, through the food pages linked in the table. The same method is written out on how we calculate, and our sources are listed on sources.
