Don't take Coumadin (unless you have atrial fibrillation)!

Vitamin K is always found in nature associated with the high
chlorophyll content of green plants.

The dark green variety of Olive Oil is the second best natural source
of Vitamin K available. The greener the vegetable, or oil, the higher
the vitamin K content.

Phylloquinone, the most common form of vitamin K, in your diet. As
much as 30 percent of total vitamin K intake may come in the form of
dihydrophylloquinone, but it is less biologically active than
phylloquinone. Dihydrophylloquinone—produced during the hydrogenation
of oils.

Phylloquinone is found in some oils, especially soybean oil, and in
dark-green vegetables such as spinach and broccoli. For instance, one
serving of spinach or two servings of broccoli provide four to five
times the RDA of phylloquinone.
