Before you use this number
- If you take anticoagulants, steady matters more than low. People taking warfarin and similar anticoagulants need a consistent vitamin K intake rather than a low one: sudden changes in either direction can increase or decrease the effect of the medicine. Evidence: vitk-04

Source and how to read this
Data: USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy, release 2018-04 (final), FDC ID 172330. Described in USDA as Shortening cake mix, soybean (hydrogenated) and cottonseed (hydrogenated); we shorten these names for readability and keep the original here. Values are per 3.5 oz (100 g) of edible portion as USDA reports them; a serving may be more or less.
Portion: "1 tbsp" = 12.8 g is the primary household measure USDA records for this food. Per-100 g values let you compare foods; per-portion values are closer to what you actually eat.
% Daily Value: FDA Daily Values for adults and children 4+ (FDA, page updated 2024-03-05). "High" means ≥20% DV and "good source" 10–19% DV — FDA's labeling cut-offs (21 CFR 101.54), which apply per serving; we apply the same cut-offs to 100 g so foods can be compared. No DV exists for energy or total sugars, so those show no percentage.
