About Leaf lettuce
Leaf lettuce is a popular leafy green known for its tender texture and mildly sweet flavor. This variety of lettuce, which includes types like green leaf and red leaf, is often used in salads, wraps, and sandwiches. It is a staple in many cuisines, particularly in Western dishes, where fresh greens are a key component. Leaf lettuce is low in calories and rich in vitamins A, C, and K, which support immune health, skin health, and bone strength. It also provides a good source of folate and antioxidants, aiding in cellular repair and protecting the body from free radicals. With its high water content, leaf lettuce is hydrating and helps promote digestion. However, it is not a significant source of protein or fat, so it’s best paired with nutrient-dense toppings or ingredients for a balanced meal. Its versatility and nutrition make it a wholesome choice for a healthy diet.
