The benefits of baby lettuce
Have you ever wondered what nutritional values the baby lettuce you add to your salads or appetizers have? Read this article to find out.
Considered as the noblest of all baby leaf salads, baby lettuce is also one of the most commonly used to make tasty main course salads or quick appetizers.
There are numerous varieties of baby lettuce on the market, ranging from the typical green salad with rounded leaves, to the red baby lettuce version with a bright colour and a sweet and delicate taste. Although they change in shape and colour, all varieties share the same nutritional values and have the same beneficial effects on the body. Here are the main ones.
Baby lettuce: the baby leaf salad you can eat even at dinner
Many people struggle to digest raw salad, which is why they consume it mainly at lunch time and at dinner time they prefer cooked vegetables. Baby lettuce, however, is a baby leaf that facilitates digestion and even has mild sedative properties, so it can be consumed even in the evening without disturbing sleep patterns.
A great source of mineral salts and vitamins
Baby lettuce shares the same nutrients and active ingredients as adult lettuce. Especially if consumed raw, this baby leaf salad is an excellent source of mineral salts, fibre and vitamins that facilitates digestion, and is also low in salt, making it ideal for low sodium diets.
A delicate taste that goes with everything
In addition to being healthy, baby lettuce also has the advantage of being a tender and delicate flavoured baby leaf, which is a must-have for any kitchen to give an extra touch to every dish.
For a snack or quick lunch it can be used as a filling for focaccia and sandwiches, it can give extra colour to a meat or fish second course, or it can become the main ingredient of a large salad.
It can also be used as a more practical and tasty alternative to traditional lettuce, for example in a reinterpretation of the famous Caesar Salad or Club House Sandwich.
