  1. Meat does not really contain plain Vitamin K. Vit K  is found chiefly in leafy green vegetables, particularly the dark green ones such as spinach and kale;  cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, and brussels sprouts are also high in Vitamin K as are some fruits such as avocado and kiwifruit. By way of reference, two tablespoons of parsley contain 153% of the recommended daily amount of vitamin K. Some vegetable oils, notably soybean, contain vitamin K, but at levels that would require relatively large caloric consumption to meet the USDA recommended levels.

    Phylloquinone (vitamin K1) is the major dietary form of vitamin K.

    Menaquinone-4 and Menaquinone-7 (vitamin K2) are found in meat, eggs, dairy  and natto. MK-4 is synthesized by animal tissues, the rest (mainly MK-7) are synthesized by bacteria during fermentation. In natto 0% of Vitamin K is from MK-4 and in cheese


  2. Meat is a poor source of Vit K. Most of what we need comes from our intestinal bacteria.  Large doses can cause anaemia and a severe form of jaundice in infacts.

  3. as what the first answer said, you only get vitamin k from dark leafy vegetables and not meat - sorry to say that.
