150 foods in the USDA FoodData Central database carry measurable Vitamin K content. The FDA Daily Value for Vitamin K is 120mcg, which means every food on this list can be scaled back to a percent-DV figure for an adult on a 2,000-calorie diet. The current number-one food clocks in at 1715mcg per serving, 1429% of the daily reference value in a single portion. That kind of concentration is rare and tells you which foods act as genuine Vitamin K drivers rather than marginal contributors.

Stepping back from individual foods, the data clusters into 10 food categories with measurable Vitamin K. Spices and Herbs leads with 11 qualifying foods at an average of 938.4mcg per serving, followed by American Indian/Alaska Native Foods (2 foods, avg 422.6mcg). Category breakdowns matter because they reveal whether the nutrient is concentrated in one food family, where a single good choice moves the needle, or dispersed, where daily intake depends on variety across meals.

Essential for blood clotting and bone metabolism. All values in this ranking come from USDA laboratory analysis and manufacturer-reported label data, normalized to per-serving so you can compare foods on equal footing.

For interpretation context, the nutrition guides explain how to balance % DV across a full day and why nutrient density, not just absolute amount, drives healthier food choices.
