Thai Basil
RM5.60Thai Basil is a type of basil native to Southeast Asia that has been cultivated to provide distinctive traits. Widely used throughout Southeast Asia, its flavor, described as anise– and licorice-like and slightly spicy, is more stable under high or extended cooking temperatures than that of sweet basil. Thai basil has small, narrow leaves, purple stems, and pink-purple flowers.
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 |
| Protein | 2 grams | 1.5 grams |
| Fiber | 1 gram | 1 gram |
| Folate | 10% of the DV | 9% of the DV |
| Iron | 5% of the DV | 7% of the DV |
| Manganese | 11% of the DV | 9% of the DV |
| Potassium | 4% of the DV | 4% of the DV |
| Vitamin A | 41% of the DV | 42% of the DV |
| Vitamin C | 10% of the DV | 4% of the DV |
| Vitamin K | 105% of the DV | 117% of the DV |
Green leaf lettuce tends to have more vitamin C, while the red variety offers more vitamin K.
Both types are high in vitamin A, beta carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin, all of which support eye and skin health (9, 11Trusted Source, 12Trusted Source, 18Trusted Source).
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).

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).
