Organic lettuces are rich in vitamins and minerals such as calcium and iron. They also have a higher nutritional value as they have a greater amount of nutritional matter.

Romaine lettuce

Romaine lettuce. Its taste tends to be somewhat more bitter than other lettuces, so it is often used in salads such as Caesar salad to give more depth of flavour to the dish. Lettuce is a very refreshing food thanks to its high water content and it provides essential minerals and vitamins such as potassium, magnesium, calcium, vitamin A. Romaine lettuce is a highly nutritious variety of lettuce. Romaine is more than just a great tasting leaf, as it is a source of Protein, Iron, Calcium, with a high mineral and Omega 3 content.
