Question

What is the part of the plant that contains most k2? Should I throw away the stock-ends and stick with the leaves? What other sources of k2 are there out there besides butter and cheese and the above? Feedback appreciated.

There is no vitamin k2 in parsley, its all k1.

Thanks. I suppose I should toss the parsley altogether. All those pesticides... – PersonMan Aug 7 2011 at 13:15

and what's wrong with K1 - it's good for the treatment of hypoprothrombinemia – DudleyP Aug 7 2011 at 13:24

i never said that there is anything wrong with k1. – Ginnungagap Aug 7 2011 at 13:38

my comment was in response to Personman's rhetorical question - to toss or not – DudleyP Aug 7 2011 at 13:44

PM, you can use the stalks for bone broth (neutral flavor). Add them in toward the end. Oh, and I don't buy all organic produce either, but I use a vegetable wash - you can find good ones that will take care of the pesticides. – Scrubjay Aug 7 2011 at 20:15
