Description
Health Benefits:
- This crispy and crunchy vegetable is an excellent source of vitamin K, an essential nutrient for blood clotting, wound healing and supporting bone health..
- Surprisingly, romaine lettuce boasts a comparable vitamin A content to spinach for the same serving size. This is partly because romaine lettuce heads grow in a way that keeps their leaves more open and exposed to sun, allowing them to synthesise more vitamin A precursors (called carotenoids) than other lettuce varieties
- Romaine lettuce is also a good source of folate, a vital nutrient for a healthy heart, to prevent anaemia and to lower the risk of some types of birth defects in early pregnancy.
- The pigment lutein is an antioxidant found in romaine lettuce. Like vitamin A, lutein is important for promoting eye health and reducing the risk of age-related vision loss.
