One of the best sources of Vitamin A, red lettuce can save you from night blindness!

Small to medium in size, red leaf lettuce has an elongated shape with a narrow base that fans out to a wide, curly, loose top. When the stalk of red leaf lettuce is scratched, it emits a sweet or bitter odour. The leaves will have an earthy, mildly sweet or semi-bitter flavour with faint hazelnut undertones. Bitterness is more common in mature leaves than in young leaves.
