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
Accounts for portion size — a more realistic measure than GI alone.

If the bag says “washed” or “ready to eat,” it is generally intended to be eaten as sold. Unwashed leaves should be rinsed thoroughly under clean running water and dried well; people at higher food-safety risk may prefer extra caution with packaged greens.
Cut leaves lose moisture and are easily damaged during handling, which speeds up wilting. Keep dressing separate until serving to help the leaves stay crisp.
Store it refrigerated in a container or bag lined with paper towel to absorb excess moisture. Discard it if it becomes slimy, develops a sour odor, or has widespread dark, decaying patches.
Raw lettuce mix does not freeze well because thawed leaves become limp and watery. Use extra leaves in soups, blended sauces, or smoothies instead of freezing them for salad.
A simple olive oil and lemon or vinegar dressing is usually less heavy on delicate leaves than creamy dressings. Add any dressing just before eating for the best texture.
Pair it with protein foods such as beans, lentils, eggs, chicken, fish, tofu, or cheese, plus a satisfying carbohydrate such as whole grains or potatoes. A little olive oil, nuts, seeds, or avocado can also make the meal more satisfying.
On its own, lettuce mix is usually better viewed as a base or side rather than a complete meal. Adding protein, a carbohydrate source, and a healthy fat makes it more balanced.
For most people, eating lettuce mix in the evening is fine. However, raw vegetables can worsen bloating or reflux symptoms in some people, so a smaller portion or an earlier meal may be more comfortable.
Leafy greens contain vitamin K, which matters for people taking warfarin and similar anticoagulants. Rather than avoiding greens completely, keep intake consistent and follow the guidance of the prescribing clinician.
No. Lettuce mix usually combines several lettuce varieties and sometimes other young leaves, while arugula is a distinct green with a peppery, slightly bitter flavor. A mix containing arugula will usually taste sharper.
