Q: How much vitamin K is in dried apricots?

I printed your list of high Vitamin K foods. Are dried apricots high in Vitamin K?

Q: Dr. Gourmet Says...

One cup of sliced apricots is very low in Vitamin K at 5 micrograms. A cup of dried halves is only 4 mcg.

There is an easy way to find out about the nutrition content of any food. The USDA National Nutrient Database is at this link:

http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/

By entering an ingredient and following the steps, this website will report the complete nutritional values of any ingredient and many prepared foods. The Vitamin K content is the last listing at the bottom of the Vitamins section. If it is not there, the food or ingredient that you searched on doesn't contain enough Vitamin K to be reported.

Thanks for writing.
