Turns out it’s not as good as lettuce that more deeply green, and so higher in good things.
But “choosing darker, red-leaf varieties or mixing in baby greens or microgreens can really boost the nutritional value of your salads,” one nutrition expert tells USAToday.
So let the salads begin and enjoy the type of lettuce you enjoy.
