                                      Lettuce is considereda low-calorie food, containing only15 calories per 100-gram serving. Per one standard serving (36 grams), lettuce provides only5.4 calories.

                                      What Do 15 Calories or 100 Grams of Lettuce Look Like?

                                      Our team conducted measurements to visually represent the weight and calorie content of 100 grams of lettuce.

                                      The image below illustrates that approximately 20 lettuce leaves are 100 grams, equivalent to 15-17 calories. This implies that each lettuce leaf weighs approximately 5 grams and contains only 0.75-1 calories.

                                      For practical serving sizes, one cup of lettuce weighs about 36 grams, providing a calorie content of 5.4 calories accordingly. It's important to note that these values may vary based on the specific type and density of the lettuce.

                                      Oxalates

                                      Even though leafy green vegetables are high inoxalates, the amount of oxalates in lettuce is about16mg per 100g, which is consideredlow.

                                      While oxalates are generally considered safe for most people, they can pose a concern for individuals prone to kidney stones or those withcertain medical conditions.

                                      Nitrates

                                      Lettuce contains high amounts of nitrates, known for their beneficial and potentially harmful effects on health. The scientific literature on the topic of nitrates and lettuce is conflicting. For instance, an observational study by Bondonno et al. looked at the link betweennitrate-rich vegetable consumption and cardiovascular outcomes, revealing that vegetable nitrate hadcardioprotective outcomes(11). However, the study was observational, and no causation was established. Other nutrients in the vegetables may have contributed to the improved outcomes.

                                      On the other hand, Brkic et al. examined the nitrate levels in green leafy vegetablesacross various locations and seasons in Croatia (12). They found that the nitrate levels in lettuce varied across seasons and locations. The authors discovered that the mean value of nitrates in lettuce sampled inspring was 703.7mg/kg, while in autumn, the mean value washigher – 1264.8mg/kg. Although these levels were found to be quite high, they still did not exceed the daily acceptable intake of nitrate.

                                      In the Canary Islands, the average nitrate levels for lettuce were573.7mg/kg, while in Slovenia, it was962mg/kg(13, 14). However, some of the samples in Slovenia exceeded the European Union recommendations.

                                      The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has released a comprehensive report addressingthe risks and benefits of nitrate-rich vegetable consumption (9). The mean nitrate concentration in the report for lettuce samples was1324mg/kg. However,the productionseason, method, and regionall influenced the nitrate content. Moreover, they referenced studies that discuss how washing off the vegetable reduces the nitrate content byup to 15%, whereas removing the stem reduces the nitrate content byup to 40%.

                                      Their reports suggest that the advantages of consuming these vegetables are undoubtedlyimportant, while the potential negative effects on health are unlikely to have a substantial impact. Another finding highlighted in the report is that the outer leaves of lettuce contain higher concentrations of nitrates than the inner leaves.

                                      Phytochemicals

                                      Lettuce containshigh amounts of various phytochemicals. According to a study by Shi et al., the phytochemicals found in lettuce can be divided into three main categories:phenolic compounds, carotenoids, and chlorophyll (1).

                                      Phenolic Compounds

                                      Phenolic compounds in lettuce includephenolic acids and flavonoids (1). The most common phenolic acids identified in lettuce include caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid, which are known to possessantidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties.

                                      Quercetin, isorhamnetin, kaempferol,andanthocyanins are the main flavonoids in lettuce, possessing several medicinal benefits, includinganticancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory,andantiviral properties.

                                      Carotenoids

                                      Carotenoids found in lettuce includecarotenes and xanthophylls (1). Research has also found a link between carotenoids and protective cardiovascular, anti-cancer, and anti-obesity effects. Per 100 grams, lettuce contains4440μg of β-carotene.

                                      Chlorophyll

                                      The chlorophyll A and chlorophyll B found in lettuce have been associated withantioxidant and anticancer properties (1).

                                      Glycemic Index

                                      The glycemic index is a rating system used for foods containing carbohydrates. The glycemic index of lettuce is equal to 32, which means that lettuce is alow-GI food.

                                      Low-GI foods are more favorable for individuals withdiabetes, as they help stabilize blood sugar levels.

                                      Acidity

                                      Foodaciditymeasures food's potential to affect the blood's pH.Lettuce isalkaline and has acidity (based onpotential renal acid load (PRAL) value) equal to -3.1.

                                      Nutritional Comparison Among Lettuce Varieties

                                      Wild vs. Commercial Lettuce Varieties

                                      In a recent study examining the differences between wild, commercial, and traditional lettuce varieties, Medina-Lozano et al. revealed that wild and traditional varieties contain21% and 8% more Vitamin C than commercial varieties (10). However, commercial varieties containedthe highest amounts of anthocyanins.

                                      General Nutritional Differences

                                      Green leaf and red leaf lettuce varieties havesimilar nutritional profiles and providesimilar amounts of minerals and vitamins with only very few distinctions. For example, green leaf lettuce providesslightly more Vitamin C. Per 100-gram serving, green leaf lettuce contains9.2mg of Vitamin C, while red leaf lettuce contains only 3.7mg.

                                      Refer to ourgreen leaf lettuce vs. red leaf lettuce page for the complete nutritional comparison.

                                      Phytochemicals

                                      As mentioned above, lettuce contains three main phytochemical groups, as Shi et al. described. In addition to listing the phytochemical content of lettuce, the authors also discuss how the content varies amongdifferent lettuce varieties.

                                      The authors mention that about phenolic compounds, the content may differ in lettuce varieties depending on various factors such aslight exposure, harvest conditions, etc.(1). Nevertheless,red lettuce varieties have been found to have more anthocyanincontent and higher total phenolicsthan the green varieties (2, 3, 4, 5, 6). Moreover, in the study of the differences between wild and commercial lettuce varieties mentioned above, Medina-Lozano et al. also revealed thatred lettuce varieties contained more anthocyanins. In contrast, green varieties containedmore Vitamin C (10).

                                      About carotenoids, mixed research links the prevalence of β-carotene to the color green observed in lettuce. Some authors have linkedgreen lettuce to higher β-carotene content, while others found similar amounts of the carotenoid in red and green varieties (1, 6, 7, 8).

                                      Lettuce Varieties by Shape

                                      In addition to differences in the amounts of phytochemicals observed based on the color,the shape of the lettuce has also been found to be correlated to the amounts of phytochemicals, especially to the amounts ofcarotenoids and chlorophylls(1). Shi et al. explain that crisphead lettuce, which contains a closed head shape, produces fewer carotenoids due to reduced exposure to sunlight than other types of lettuce. Additionally, the authors cite various articles wherethe openness or closeness of the lettuce head, depending on the exposure tosunlight, also influencesthe production of chlorophyll and other metabolites.

                                      In terms of other nutritional differences, when comparing iceberg lettuce to butterhead and romaine varieties, it is evident that it contains fewer vitamins and minerals. Specifically, iceberg lettuce provides about7 and 17 times less Vitamin A than butterhead and romaine lettuce, respectively. Moreover, iceberg lettuce provides only 0.41mg of iron per 100-gram serving, compared to1.24mgin butterhead lettuce and0.97mg in romaine lettuce. The amount offolatein iceberg lettuce is alsoaround 3 and 5 times lower than in butterhead and romaine lettuce types, respectively. Romaine and butterhead varieties also provide around4 times more Vitamin K than iceberg lettuce.

                                      Consequently, when comparingromaine lettuce to butterhead lettuce, we can see that romaine lettuce provides more folate and Vitamin A than butterhead lettuce. Refer to ourbutterhead lettuce vs. iceberg lettuce andromaine lettuce vs. iceberg lettuce articles for more information.

                                      Comparison to Similar Foods

                                      Lettuce is often compared with other vegetables, such as arugula and cabbage.

                                      Compared tocabbage, lettuce isricher in Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Meanwhile, cabbage contains higher amounts of Vitamin C. Cabbage also provides slightlymore calories and dietary fiber. You can read ourLettuce vs. Cabbage comparison article to learn more.

                                      When comparing lettuce andarugula, although both are rich in Vitamin A, lettuce contains 3 times more than arugula. On the other hand, arugula providesmore folate, as well asmore calcium and magnesium. Refer to ourLettuce vs. Arugula article to learn more.
