One of the most boring pieces of produce that (little do most know) has little to no nutritional value whatsoever that often times (over kale or spinach) and has stood at the forefront fork front of the “nutritional” meal has gotten exposed for the fraud it is: Lettuce.
With the exception of darker lettuce (i.e. romaine) many of us pull up to the popular delicacy, twirling our forks and tightening our lips from the tang of the salad dressing-feeling thin (our on our way to it) while chomping lettuce like it’s the truth, the light, and
