Vitamin K is a nutrient that is necessary for proper bone formation and blood clotting. It helps the body transport calcium to the places that it needs to be.

The recommended daily amount of vitamin K can be obtained naturally, without supplements, just by eating certain vegetables.

But is broccoli one of those vegetables? Is broccoli high in vitamin K?

Yes, it is!

1 cup of broccoli contains over 92 mcg of vitamin K, which is over 116% of your recommended daily value!

This is not bad for you, however, and you should be eating broccoli as a part of your regular diet.
