Is sauerkraut high in Vitamin K?

A week ago I had to go on Coumadin. I looked through the FAQs and see that cabbage is too high in vitamin K. Does that include sauerkraut?

Dr. Gourmet Says...

sauerkraut in a glass jar

The USDA reports that sauerkraut has 81 micrograms (mcg) of Vitamin K in a cup, and a head of raw white cabbage has 748 mcg of Vitamin K.

There doesn't appear to be a great loss of Vitamin K during cooking. That same head of cabbage, boiled and drained, has 617 mcg. It's probably better to err on the side of safety and use the value of a raw ingredient to see how it might fit with your diet plan for Coumadin® (warfarin).

Thanks for writing,
