Ask Dr. Gourmet

I am now taking Coumadin and just learning what's okay and not okay. Is it okay to include the combination of fresh ginger and fresh garlic in stir-fry cooking?

Dr. Gourmet Says...

Sure. Both of these are going to be safe and a great addition to your stir-frys.

You can find out the nutritional content of any ingredient by logging into The Dr. Gourmet Diet Plan planner and clicking the Recipe Box tab. You will find a database with over 7,000 ingredients and their Vitamin K content.

The menu planner also helps you track your daily Vitamin K intake along with calories and other nutrients. Click the Food Diary tab.

Thanks for writing,

Timothy S. Harlan, M.D.
