Ask Dr. Gourmet

Is iceberg lettuce safe for those taking Coumadin (warfarin)?

While taking Coumadin, is it OK to eat iceberg lettuce?

Dr. Gourmet Says...

several fresh leaves of iceberg lettuce in a bowl

Iceberg lettuce has fallen out of favor among foodies, but I have always loved it. It is the one lettuce that doesn't have a lot of Vitamin K.

One cup of iceberg lettuce contains only about 13 micrograms (mcg) of Vitamin K. This is a low amount and should be safe for you to use as part of your diet while on Coumadin® (warfarin).

Here's a list of the levels of Vitamin K in some common vegetables.

Here are Coumadin safe Vegetable side dishes for you to make at home, and here are our Coumadin-safe Vegetarian Main Course recipes.
