Lettuce. This is a common name for the many varieties of them; rocket, butterhead, romaine etc. You see them in almost all the salad dishes. They don’t just make salads beautiful, they works beauty inside you.
Why lettuce? Besides containing the powerful enzyme of raw food, it is rich in chlorophyll, Vitamin A and folic acid. It also contains healthful minerals such as calcium, potassium, iron and is good fiber food to encourage smooth elimination. They are very good diet food as they are low in sodium and calories. Always choose the varieties with the richest in colour.
What about Chlorophyll? It is part of most plants, especially high in greens. It’s the “blood” of the plant with magnesium as the main ingredient. Magnesium is required for calcium absorption so that’s why I always say get your calcium from greens. Both calcium and magnesium contains in the greens are always in the best proportion so nothing beats the natural goodnessJ Chlorophyll always has a revitalizing effects when used in humans. (Always feels less “sinful” after taking some right…J)
Just look at how the greens spice up my photolicious and super-delicious food creations:
