Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Spinach is a leafy green vegetable that is high in vitamin K, which can interfere with the effectiveness of warfarin. Therefore, it is best for patients on warfarin therapy to limit their intake of high vitamin K foods like spinach. Choosing options such as fruit, pasta, or potato salad would be better choices.
