Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome to HCM and thank you for your query.
I understand your concern.
http://www.coumadin.com/pdf/Foods_With_VitaminK.pdf and http://www.cc.nih.gov/ccc/patient_education/drug_nutrient/coumadin1.pdf
gives good list of Vit K containing foods.
The second reference gives additional helpful factors you ought to know when you are taking warfarin.
Take Care
