Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin, which means dietary fat helps your body absorb it. That is why pairing vitamin K-rich vegetables with a small source of fat can be a smart idea in a balanced diet.

Food pairings in this video:
Kale + Olive Oil
Spinach + Avocado
Broccoli + Tahini
Romaine Lettuce + Walnuts
Brussels Sprouts + Olive Oil

Important:
Vitamin K is important for normal blood clotting and bone health. If you take warfarin or another vitamin K–sensitive medicine, do not suddenly change your intake of leafy green vegetables without speaking with your healthcare professional. The key is consistency.
