Red Rubin Basil

Mostly used for salads, local lettuce is also seen in other kinds of food, such as soups, sandwiches and wraps. It can also be grilled.

Lettuce is:

• an excellent source of beta carotene (vitamin A) which is needed for healthy skin, bones, and eyes.

• a fair source of folate, which is needed for healthy cells and the healthy growth of babies during pregnancy.

Lettuce has a high water content and very low calories (15kcal in 100g).
