Guest guest Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Group, what's our collective opinion on the nutritional worth of lettuce? I remember a thread last fall about this but I'm asking whether it's worth eating lettuce regularly. I enjoy a salad once in a while but I certainly don't have to eat it, so I'm thinking it may be better to just eat cooked kale, collards, chard, and raw and cooked spinach more often since they are more nutrient dense. Besides cellulose, my impression is there's not a whole lot of nutrition in all types of lettuce, given that the ratio of fiber and water to other nutritive components is very high, and it's eaten raw so many of the nutrients are not absorbed.
