Vitamin K Rich Food #7: Pork Chops

The 69 mcg of vitamin K in 100 grams of pork chops are all vitamin K2. Now you might be questioning why pork chops are included on a nutrient rich food list. It’s because for one, pork chops are not processed, so they are quite leaner and naturally lower in sodium that other pork cuts.

When comes down to meat sources, pork chops are higher in vitamin K than chicken. Sticking to the chicken comparison, pork chops have twice as much selenium than chicken. Selenium is an essential mineral that is linked to a lower risk for prostate cancer in men, fertility, cognitive function, and a healthy immune system.
