Are there any more veg'ans out there who refuse to eat lettuce?

Question

Does lettuce really have any nutrients? Is there any point in eating it?

Answer 1

Lettuce has vitamin E.  The dark green leaves, leaf lettuce, are the better lettuces.  It's actually quite tasty. :-)

Answer 2

No lettuces have a whole lot of nutrients, but they are tasty and excellent in adding crispness and freshness to mixed salads.

Almost every night for dinner I make a salad of the following:

lettuce (usually either iceberg or romaine)

cucumber

green and red sweet pepper

radishes

scallions

olives

avocado

tomato

to which I add

salt, fresh ground pepper, tarragon, garlic, wine vinegar, and olive oil, and sometimes crumbled blue cheese.

A really nice first course! My wife and I usually have seconds.

When spinach is young and fresh, I often make a spinach salad. I cut the root ends off the spinach and cut it into convenient pieces. I then add either sliced mushrooms or small chunks of feta cheese, a bit of vinegar and olive oil. Sometimes I add sliced tomatoes. A bit of salt, and that's it.

But one the spinach gets tough, it's better to eat it cooked.

Answer 3

why does it matter that you are a vegan?

can't you just ask, how many other people don't eat lettuce?

i sense some reverse discrimination goin' on...

Answer 4

yeah, i dont really like it, but yeah theres nutrients in it

Answer 5

iceberg lettuce, it does nothing for you, does nothing against you

one rule in lettuce, the darker the color, the better it is for you

Answer 6

Romaine lettuce is nutritious.  Iceberg lettuce is pretty much useless.  Stick to dark leafy greens.  They have a lot of iron.

Answer 7

The last time I ate lettuce was yesterday- it was on a veggie delight Subway sandwiche. But I don't really eat it that much.

It makes me laugh when people think that all veggies LOVE lettuce-- I hardly ever eat it! I don't think it's very palatable and it hardly has any nutritional value. The texture is good though, it adds crunch to a sandwiche.

Answer 8

Romanian Lettuce is the love of my life (as far as lettuce goes).
