Green Coral Lettuce
RM6.50
Coral 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).
