The varieties of lettuce we find on the market are now many, with the most prevalent being iceberg, " salad " and our classic lettuce , romaine. Lettuce contains several vitamins (A, B, C and E) but also high levels of calcium which are necessary for the human body.

Like all leafy vegetables, thanks to the chlorophyll and anthocyanides it contains, it has anticancer properties and strengthens the immune system. Lettuce is also ideal for dieting as it contains a large amount of water, creates a feeling of satiety, has few calories, a lot of fiber and nutrients.
