The heart of every salad

Heirloom Lettuce Leaves

Earthbound Farm Organic Heirloom Lettuce Leaves are an excellent source of vitamin A, which plays a role in the maintenance of healthy eyes and skin; and a good source of vitamin C, which plays a role in wound healing, skin health and supporting a healthy immune system.

The vitamin C in this leafy lettuce mix also has antioxidant properties that, as part of a healthy diet, may play a role in reducing the risk of certain chronic diseases. And vitamin C can help your body better absorb plant-based iron. Try tossing up a salad with a variety of lettuces, like heirloom leaves, frisee and baby romaine — it’s a tasty way to maximize your nutrient intake! 

Choosing organically grown heirloom lettuce is a smart and effective way to reduce exposure to pesticide residues, as the Environmental Working Group ranks conventionally grown lettuce high on their list of vegetables most commonly found with pesticide residues.
