Did you know that two tablespoons of fresh parsley provide 150% of your recommended Vitamin K intake for the day? →[More:] I love the World's Healthiest Foods site. It always makes me feel so good about eating good things.

I thought Vitamin K was ketamine.

Yes! I've bookmarked this site too occhi. I didn't know about the parsley, though.

I like to buy fresh parsley and freeze some of it for later impromptu use. I suspect this aint good procedure nutritionally but I haven't found out why...

I thought that was Special K? Despite being around a great many people who used it in college, I'm not really up on my drug lingo.

Cool site!

Someone posted it to MeFi a while back, I think. I really love it -- I like how it combines data with history and recipes.

In the 7th grade I was assigned a report on Vitamin K. My topic was changed when I couldn't ANY mention of vitamin K in ANY book in our school library - but this was nearly 30 years ago. No , I don't have a point, I just wanted to share.

Hee. Vitamin K always does seem like one of the weird vitamins to me. Like someone just made it up late one night. I think it's because we seemed to have skipped a few letters before it. Why not Vitamin L? Vitamin W?

It somehow seems like a marketing ploy, created by very healthy marketers in thrall to the Mega-Cabbage-Kale Industrial Complex.

Great site indeed! Thanks occhiblu! The dish of the day reminded me that I have some cabbage that should be eaten (just when I was thinking I had no veggies for tonight), and gave me some yummy ideas on what to do with it. Bookmarked.

the lady from my favorite health food store, who is a strict Vegan and always frowns at my weekly purchase of two bottles of superfatty supercreamy organic whole milk, once tried to convince me to give up lactose, coffee and, God knows why, tomatoes and follow a Draconian program of weekly enemas.

Have you ever tried chewing two tablespoons of fresh parsley?

It's palatable in tabbouleh, at least.

I usually just chop it up and throw it on sauces and things (or eggs, which is what I did this morning).

That's actually what I tend to use the Healthiest Foods website for -- I get all inspired to throw some parsley or sesame seeds on something, then I get to be all dorky and look it up to see exactly how vitamin-ed I got.
