With very few calories and no fat, escarole heaps micronutrients and fiber — just 2 raw cups (85 grams) deliver 12% of the DV for fiber (7Trusted Source).
What’s more, this same serving provides 9% of the DV for copper and 30% for folate. Copper supports proper bone, connective tissue, and red blood cell formation, whereas folate helps ensure proper metabolism and create red and white blood cells (8Trusted Source, 9Trusted Source).
Both minerals are especially important for proper fetal development and thus vital for women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant (9Trusted Source, 10Trusted Source).

Butterhead Lettuce
RM5.50Butterhead lettuce gets its name from its characteristically soft, buttery leaves. It’s also known as cabbage lettuce due to its round shape. The most popular types of butterhead are Bibb and Boston lettuce.
Its leaves have a crumpled look that resembles flower petals. Butterhead lettuce is usually deep green, although red varieties exist.
It’s rich in nutrients, with 3.5 ounces (100 grams) offering (17Trusted Source):

This lettuce is a good source of carotenoid antioxidants, such as beta carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin. These protect your eyes from macular degeneration, a condition that can result in partial vision loss (18Trusted Source).
Furthermore, butterhead contains higher amounts of iron than other lettuces. This nutrient is essential for creating red blood cells (9, 19Trusted Source).
Keep in mind that plants provide only non-heme iron, which is poorly absorbed. As vitamin C helps increase your absorption, consider eating butterhead lettuce with a food high in this vitamin, such as red peppers (19Trusted Source).

Red Coral Lettuce
RM7.50Coral lettuce, also known as loose-leaf lettuce, varies in shape, color, and texture — though it’s usually crisp, ruffled, and dark green or red, with a flavor ranging from mild to sweet.
Unlike other lettuces, it doesn’t grow around a head. Instead, its leaves come together at a stem.
A 3.5-ounce (100-gram) serving of either green or red leaf lettuce gives the following nutrients (20Trusted Source, 21Trusted Source):
| Leaf lettuce, green | Leaf lettuce, red | |
| Calories | 15 | 13 |

However, red leaf lettuce contains much higher levels of phenolic compounds. In particular, its anthocyanins and quercetin act as potent antioxidants that protect your body from free radical damage (9, 22Trusted Source, 23Trusted Source).
