Standard, well-documented food — figures reflect typical USDA-reported values
Prep Tip
Stir-fry briefly over high heat — bok choy cooks in minutes and overcooking turns it mushy and dulls the flavor.
Absorption Boost
Healthy fats — aids absorption of the fat-soluble vitamin K
Garlic and ginger — a traditional pairing that also adds complementary detox-supporting compounds
Use Caution If
You take warfarin or other blood thinners — keep intake consistent given the vitamin K content
You have hypothyroidism — contains goitrogens; cooking reduces this
Storage
Refrigerate unwashed in a perforated bag; use within about a week.
