Q: How much Vitamin K is in green, red, yellow and orange peppers?

Love your food list. I see that green peppers are high in Vitamin K. Does the same hold true for red, yellow and orange bell peppers?

Q: Dr. Gourmet Says...

The food list does have a typo with respect to green peppers. This should be listed as Low in Vitamin K. A cup of diced green pepper has only 11 micrograms (mcg) of Vitamin K and this would be considered low enough to be safe. I am sorry for the misunderstanding.

The updated lists can be found at these links:

Interestingly, yellow peppers contain no Vitamin K and red peppers only 7 mcg for a large pepper.

Thanks for writing,
