EverydayFresh

Red leaf lettuce is a tender leafy green characterized by its loose, ruffled leaves with deep red or purple edges. This lettuce variety offers a mild, slightly sweet flavor and delicate texture, making it ideal for fresh applications like salads and sandwiches. While lower in fiber than hardier greens, it provides notable amounts of vitamins A and K, with the red pigmentation indicating antioxidant anthocyanin content.
