Mom always served green leaf salad for lunch in the warm season. She told us that salad was healthy. Many people still believe that today. In 2010, Germans consumed 218,000 tons of salad. That is 2.7 kg per capita! Nutritionists have analysed the vegetables. Let's look at their results.
Lettuce (head lettuce) is healthy because it has a lot of vitamin C
Wrong! A hundred grams of lettuce contains about 10 mg of vitamin C. The leaves are 95 percent water.
Lettuce is a good source of minerals
Wrong! These vegetables have as many minerals as a paper tissue. The substances it contains such as vitamins and trace elements are not worth mentioning.
Lettuce is good for slimming
Wrong! Anyone who puts in a "salad day" a week to lose weight really has to fight. The salad is usually refined with other foods such as oil, sugar, etc. Most calories usually have the ingredients. The leafy vegetables are immediately broken down in the stomach by the gastric acid. The feeling of satiety is therefore short-lived. Then the feeling of hunger comes back. Salad fans would then have to eat more than one kilogram of the vegetables per day to keep them from starving.
Leaf salad should be eaten immediately after harvest
