Good Nutrition Site

[Cooker]

In my quest to find the amount of vitamin K in prune juice I found this site, www.nutritiondata.com. It has tons of data.

Now my question. What is a lot of vitamin K? One serving (1 cup) of prune juice has 8.7mcg. Is that a lot? What is considered high and low?

Thanks….

That does look like a good site! There's a Nutritionista!! Like a Starbucks Barista? I think we need a Throwdownista!

Sorry I can't help with the Vitamin K (mooooooo)

About a year ago, Nancy gave us another site, USDA SR19 food search thing which was quite useful..... I think that one is listed in Reference Sources. Maybe Ross can put this one in, too.

HERE IT IS: U.S.D.A. National Nutrient Database (Vit K, etc)

Brussel Sprouts uncooked, raw, 8oz's

Vitamin K 156 mcg 195%

100% of recommeded daily allowance has to be around 80mcg I believe, so things higher then about that are your higher items. Prune juice is nothing compared to me brussel sprouts.

So 8.7mcg would be very low, correct??

Correct

8.7 mcg is like nothing....and what's with you and the prune juice?

Here is a great site for all food nutrients including vitamin K. You can pick the nutrient you want and sort foods alphabetically or by nutrient content.
