Notes: This is just the entree. I'm sure it tastes ok. I've heard that Ice Berg Lettuce is totally void of nutrients.
Iceberg lettuce isn't devoid of nutrients, but it's pretty close. It's mostly water, after all. To compare:
ReplyDeleteOne cup of iceberg lettuce:
8 calories
0.5 gram protein
0.7 gram fiber
10 mg calcium
78 mg potassium
1.5 mg vitamin C
16 mcg folate
13.3 mcg of vitamin K
164 mcg beta carotene
152 mcg of lutein + zeaxanthin
One cup of romaine lettuce has:
8 calories
0.58 gram protein
1 gram fiber
16 mg calcium
116 mg potassium
11.3 mg vitamin C
64 mcg folate
48.2 mcg vitamin K
1637 mcg beta carotene
1087 mcg of lutein + zeaxanthin.
Interesting, thanks. Romaine puts iceberg to shame with those last few.
