A full bodied lettuce comprised of smooth tender leaves that is low in carbohydrates and rich in macronutrients. Nutrient Density Specific to Buttercrunch: Phosphorus: ​
This mineral is essential for growth and repair of tissues and cells in your body through maintaining a healthy blood pH and energy production to fuel the body. Vitamins A: ​
Eye health protecting qualities, and research has linked vitamin A deficiency to impaired night and color vision. Reduces HDL cholesterol levels. Vitamin K:​
​
Required for blood ​
coagulation​
, and also certain proteins that the body uses to manipulate binding of calcium in bone and other tissues. The vitamin K­related modification of the proteins allows them to bind ​
calcium​
ions, which they cannot do otherwise. Without vitamin K, blood coagulation is seriously impaired, and uncontrolled bleeding occurs. Low levels of vitamin K also weaken bones and promote calcification of arteries and other soft tissues. 1 serving has your entire daily intake!
