My name is Rabbit, and I know lettuce like the back of my hand. I'm well aware that 95% of lettuce's weight is water. To make it easier to understand, let's use 100 grams as the total weight. So, in those 100 grams, there are 1.25 grams of protein, 10 grams of carbohydrates, and a full 1.52 grams of plant fiber. Additionally, it contains an extremely low amount of fat, just 0.22 grams. Speaking of which, aren't all the nutrition consultants getting excited again?!
As for the vitamin content, you can completely calm down and search carefully—what? You searched and found nothing?! Who hid the vitamins in the lettuce?! It seems that to discover vitamins in lettuce, we'll have to adopt a brand new analysis and testing method. But even then, the amount of vitamins found is not worth mentioning with the word "contains." But we can't just bury lettuce's talents like that. For example, when it comes to minerals, we can find as much as 250 milligrams of nitrates. That's quite a high amount! Following that in mineral content is potassium, then chloride, phosphorus, and calcium. If farmers accidentally apply too much fertilizer, the levels of these substances can even double.
Why does the World Health Organization recommend that people's nitrate intake does not exceed 3.7 mg per kilogram of body weight? I heard it's related to carcinogenic nitrosamines. How disappointing, as lettuce is our favorite food. Besides, there are quite a few pesticides on lettuce too. Pesticides are quite expensive, and the farmers have spent money on them, so how can we just say we're not going to eat lettuce anymore? My name is Rabbit, and I know it all too well...
