10. Prunes
A one-half cup serving of prunes of about 9 pieces contains 51 mcg of vitamin K, or 65 percent of the daily value. Adding prunes to your meal will not only help you increase your vitamin K intake, but will also make your meal more nutritious and enjoyable.
Do not eat too much prunes at once, because it has a large amount of fructose, sorbitol and fiber that can have laxative effect to your digestive system. Prunes are also very high in calories. They contain 209 calories per one half cup serving. If you have some health condition, seek the advice of your doctor first to know if you can include prunes in your diet.
FINAL NOTE
Vitamin K works better when taken along with vitamin D which also supports bone health. If consumed together, the effectiveness of each vitamin increases as they work synergistically. Those who are taking blood thinning medicines should reduce their intake of foods that are high in vitamin K. Vitamin K may interfere their medication with blood thinning substances.
