Which of the following are good sources of vitamin K?

• A. Cabbage, cauliflower, green leafy veggies, broccoli and cereals
• B. Milk and dairy products
• C. Oranges and apples
• D. Red meat

Answer: (A)

Vitamin K in the diet mainly comes from leafy greens, which are rich in phylloquinone (K1). Cabbage, cauliflower, green leafy vegetables, and broccoli fall into that group and are well-known, practical sources of vitamin K. Some cereals may be fortified, but compared with leafy greens, their vitamin K content is usually much lower, so they’re not the primary source. Milk and dairy products contain only small amounts, oranges and apples have little, and red meat isn’t a meaningful source for this vitamin. Therefore, the option listing cabbage, cauliflower, green leafy vegetables, broccoli and cereals best represents good sources of vitamin K, with leafy greens providing the bulk of it.
