NUTRITION IN ACTION

  • YOUR WEEKLY 30: Rex counts as one plant toward your goal of eating 30 different plant foods each week. Enjoy it as your soft greens choice, then build more variety with other LivFarms favorites such as crunchy greens, herbs, microgreens, hearty shoots, edible flowers, and mushrooms.
  • NUTRITION SNAPSHOT: Butterhead lettuce provides vitamin K, folate, carotenoid-derived vitamin A activity, potassium, fiber, and plenty of water while remaining naturally low in calories. These nutrients support bone health, normal blood clotting, cell growth, vision, hydration, digestion, and normal muscle and nerve function.
  • PLANT COMPOUNDS: Rex provides naturally occurring carotenoids, chlorophylls, flavonoids, and phenolic compounds. These plant compounds complement the vitamins, minerals, fiber, and water found in the leaves and add another nutritional dimension to this everyday green.
  • WHY THIS PLANT MATTERS: Rex combines the nutrition of leafy greens with the soft, tender texture and mild flavor people love in butterhead lettuce. Its delicate leaves make it easy to add more greens to meals while contributing fiber, micronutrients, hydration, carotenoids, and other naturally occurring plant compounds.
  • SIMPLE EVERYDAY IDEAS: Salads, lettuce cups, sandwiches, wraps, grain bowls, plated greens, burger toppings, and lightly dressed side salads.
