Green Butter Lettuce
Variety: A salanova lettuce that has a buttery flavor and supple leaves.
Nutrients: This lettuce is a good source of beta carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin. These protect your eyes from macular degeneration, a condition that can result in partial vision loss. Furthermore, butter lettuce contains higher amounts of iron than other lettuces. This nutrient is essential for creating red blood cells. Plants provide only non-heme iron, which is poorly absorbed. As vitamin C helps increase your absorption, consider eating butter lettuce with a food high in this vitamin.
