Fresh basil FAQ
Is fresh basil high in Vitamin K?
Yes, fresh basil is high in Vitamin K. It is considered an excellent source of vitamin K. Just two tablespoons (5 grams) of fresh basil leaves provide approximately 22 micrograms of Vitamin K, which is about 22% of the recommended daily value (DV) for an adult following a 2,000-calorie diet. Vitamin K is crucial for blood clotting and maintaining strong bones and often found in dark, leafy greens. Please note, those on blood-thinning medications should consult their doctor before adding large amounts of basil, or any leafy green high in Vitamin K, to their diet as it can counteract the effect of the medication.
