Lettuce
Exceptional nutritional value
Green leaf lettuce, raw.
Green leaf lettuce is a loose-leaf salad green eaten raw in salads, sandwiches and wraps. A 50 g side-salad portion has under 10 kcal and supplies more than half the daily value of vitamin K and about a fifth of vitamin A. Iceberg lettuce has only a fraction of the vitamin A and vitamin K of green leaf lettuce.
