The content of nutrients in the salad
Lettuce contains a large amount of vitamins of group B, E, K and PP, iron, potassium, calcium, carotene, salts of phosphorus, folic acid and other trace elements. Most vitamin C is in the inner light leaves, and vitamin B is in the outer green. Due to this uneven distribution of nutrients, it is better to eat the whole head of lettuce, and not just the internal leaves.
