About Lettuce
A light-meal staple; low in calories.
Health Benefits of Lettuce
Ultra-low-calorie salad base
Lettuce is only 15 kcal per 100g - among the lowest-calorie leafy greens, over 95% water. As a salad base it adds almost no calories but real volume and satiety - ideal for light and weight-loss meals.
Rich in vitamin A and folate
Lettuce has beta-carotene (vitamin A precursor) and folate; darker leaves hold more. Eating it raw keeps these water-soluble vitamins best; wash and eat fresh rather than soaking long.
Right way to keep the crisp texture
Lettuce is best raw for texture - drained, it goes in sandwiches, wraps or salads. Rinse under running water without long soaking. Store wrapped in paper towel in a fridge bag for 3-5 days.
