Excellent source of vitamin A

The general term for a set of fat-soluble chemicals involved in immunological health, cell proliferation, eye health, and vision is vitamin A. This vitamin is also necessary for the correct growth and operation of several critical organs, such as your heart, kidneys, and lungs.

Red leaf lettuce is high in vitamin A, with 3 cups (85 grams) of shredded leaves providing 127% of the RDI. Simply including one or two portions of red leaf lettuce in your diet, a few times each week will help you achieve your vitamin C requirements.
