Did you know?
- Cornsalad lettuce is sometimes called mâche, lamb’s lettuce, or field salad and is often used in European salads. It got its name because it often grows naturally in cornfields, where it was historically found as a weed.
- It has been cultivated since Roman times, known for its mild flavor and tender texture.
- This leafy green is a good source of folate, which is especially important during pregnancy.
- Cornsalad is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which help reduce inflammation in the body.
- The leaves of this lettuce are rich in vitamin K, which supports bone health and helps with blood clotting.
Drawback
- Cornsalad lettuce is low in calories, so it doesn’t provide significant energy on its own and may need to be paired with other foods.
- It contains oxalates, which may interfere with calcium absorption for individuals prone to kidney stones.
- Pre-packaged cornsalad lettuce can spoil quickly, so it’s best to consume it fresh to avoid wastage.
