Very high
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
GLYCEMIC INDEX
GLYCEMIC LOAD

Wash the leaves, dry them very thoroughly, and store them in the refrigerator in a covered container lined with paper towel. Keep dressing separate until serving so the leaves do not become limp.
The leaves can be washed and dried up to a day ahead. Add watery ingredients such as tomatoes and cucumbers, as well as dressing, just before eating for the best texture.
Bitterness can come naturally from greens such as arugula, endive, or older lettuce leaves. A brief soak in very cold water and a mildly sweet-tart dressing can help balance the flavor.
No. Raw lettuce and other salad greens lose their structure when frozen and become soft and watery after thawing, so they are best eaten fresh.
Add dressing immediately before serving whenever possible. Salt, lemon juice, and vinegar draw out moisture from the leaves and can make the salad wilt quickly.
Add beans, lentils, eggs, yogurt, cheese, chicken, or fish to turn it into a more satisfying meal. Olive oil, avocado, and walnuts can also help your body absorb fat-soluble vitamins from the vegetables.
On its own, mixed lettuce salad usually works best as a side dish. It can become a main meal when it includes a protein source, a satisfying carbohydrate, and a source of healthy fat.
For most people, eating lettuce salad at night is not harmful. If raw vegetables worsen bloating or reflux for you, choose a smaller portion and avoid eating it immediately before lying down.
Yes. Rinse leaves individually under running water because soil and microorganisms can remain between layers. Drying the leaves afterward improves both food safety handling and crispness.
If the package says “washed,” “ready to eat,” or similar wording, it is generally intended to be eaten as sold; check the use-by date and make sure it has been kept refrigerated. If it is not labelled as ready to eat, wash it before serving.
