Vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors are synthesized in the liver. Consequently, severe liver disease results in lower blood levels of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors and an increased risk for uncontrolled bleeding (hemorrhage) (8) .
To grow well, pineapples have certain soil requirements. Pineapples need well-drained soil because they cannot withstand a waterlogged growing medium. For this reason, the best soil for growing pineapples is a sandy loam, because sand allows for rapid leaching, or water movement, through the soil. While pineapples dislike waterlogged soil, they are drought-tolerant, but require even moisture for proper fruit development.
