Ingredients: Descriptions and Photos
Lettuce, Iceberg

(Lettuce, Iceberg) Iceberg lettuce has its appeal in its convenience, but it is the least nutritious of all salad greens. From a nutritional/economic standpoint, it doesn't pay to buy iceberg lettuce. As an example, loose leaf lettuce (also a sweet and delicately flavored lettuce) has: 58 times the Vitamin A, 4-1/2 times the Vitamin C, 2-1/3 times the dietary fiber, and 3-1/2 times the calcium; and, romaine lettuce has even more Vitamin A and C. See nutritional chart below.

Lettuce, iceberg (includes crisphead types), raw

The above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live! (d-6)
