Simplicity at it’s very best. I actually now prefer these lettuce hearts cooked as opposed to in a cold salad. Slightly charred matched with a sharp, creamy dressing this simple side could match any main, or you may even want to serve it as an unusual starting course.
– Just 94g of romaine lettuce provides you with 107% vitamin K, 45% vitamin A, and 31% of folate, of your recommended daily intake, to name a few!

Compared to the standard iceberg lettuce, the romaine has; less sugars and salt, twice the amount of protein and calcium, three times the vitamin K, four times the amount of iron, eight times the vitamin C, and seventeen times the amount of vitamin A. It’s a no-brainer. SOURCE: (http://www.care2.com/greenliving/10-powerful-advantages-of-eating-lettuce.html )
