It is the most nutritious of all of the lettuces. Andy Boy Romaine Hearts contain six times as much Vitamin C and 5-10 times as much beta-carotene as iceberg lettuce. Its broad, crinkled leaves are an excellent source of folate and dietary fiber.

Romaine Hearts also contain a lot of water, contributing to a feeling of fullness. So you won’t be as tempted to eat more than you need to or head for more fattening choices.
