KIMBERLY SNYDER: Vitamin K is a really important nutrient that keeps the liver functioning in optimal levels, and it's important for certain functions, like blood clotting,
in the body.
Vitamin K is found in abundance in dark leafy green vegetables. The powerhouse for vitamin K is kale.
Only 1 cup of kale has over 700% of the recommended amount, which is just amazing when you think about it.
You can also source it from collard greens, arugula. All these different greens get-- you rotate them,
get into a combination.
Kale is one that I feel we don't always explore as salads but is amazing to have raw. What's so great, it's really hearty.
It will hold up to salad dressings. To make sure you're getting enough vitamin K in your diet,
you can make a big kale salad, and eat it the next day even. It doesn't get soggy like other salads.
You just really experiment and play with the kale. There's different types of kale as well.
Again, only 1 cup is all that you need to get that vitamin K into your body. [GENTLE MUSIC]
