In this video, Mahalo expert Kristina Jackson tells about the differences between iceberg lettuce and green leaf garden salad.
Iceberg Lettuce or Garden Salad?
When given the choice, most people choose to make or order an iceberg lettuce salad. But iceberg lettuce has a low nutrient value and high water content.
Kristina says, "Go for the garden salad."
A green leaf garden salad mix packs many more nutrients. Most garden salads are composed of oak leaves, chard, and arugula. Not only is a garden salad healthier, but it's more flavorful as well. Green leaves also help your digestive system.
