Salad is a source of essential vitamins and minerals.
It contains carotene, vitamins B1, B2, B6, C, PP, P, E, K, minerals (potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus), trace elements, sugar, protein and fiber.
Lettuce leaves have medicinal properties. Milk juice contains a useful alkaloid - lactucine, which gives the plant a bitter taste. This alkaloid improves digestion, metabolism, has a calming effect on the nervous system, lowers high blood pressure, strengthens the walls of blood vessels, and has a beneficial effect on sleep.
Due to the high content of vitamin E, the salad is especially useful for children and pregnant women. It is also recommended for diabetes.
Fresh juice is used as a remedy for chronic gastritis.
* If you need to keep the salad for several days, sprinkle it with water, put it in plastic bags and keep it in the refrigerator. Slightly wilted lettuce will freshen up if you put it in cold water for 30-40 minutes.
