Re: Ground Flaxseed-

[Guest guest]

Since I am taking a blood thinner, the amount of K I take in matters.

So far I have been unable to find any reference as to K content in

ground flaxseed. Has any member here been more successful and come up

with that information. Would appreciate some help.

According to the USDA nutrient content database, 1 tablespoon of ground flax

seed

contains 0.4 mcg (micrograms) of vitamin K which is an insignificant amount. K

is

found mostly in greens; spinach, salads, etc.

Hi ,

thanks for digging this up for me, will add it to my list.

Just for your info, K is a funny thing, never know where one

encounters it, I own a printout from " Coumadin for Consumer - K

information "

under oils some surprises:

Corn oil - 7 Tbsp. - 3 (ug/100gm)

Canola - 141

Soybean oil 193

So, with ground flaxseeds K is not what I have to worry about.

Appreciate your help.
