hi,i understand your concern, well as far as ur question is concerned then Cabbage, Brussels sprouts and broccoli all belong to the Brassica family of cruciferous vegetables. A high intake of these vegetables is linked to a decreased risk of cancer, but you should limit your consumption of them while taking Coumadin. A cup of cooked Brussels sprouts has 300 micrograms of vitamin K. Broccoli has 220 micrograms in every cooked cup, and cooked cabbage has over 160 micrograms per cup. Do not eat more than three combined servings of both cruciferous vegetables and raw lettuce greens each day...i hope this can help you....
