(Lettuce, Red Gem) We first encountered gem lettuce in our local supermarket as
part of a 4-pack of petite lettuce from ArtisanĀ®. Red gem lettuce grows in broad
compact heads with wide leaves, a crunchy texture with a sweet flavor, which
makes a nice addition to salads, including adding color. It also comes in a
green variety. We could not find any specific nutritional information for gem
lettuce, other than that a 3-oz. serving provides: 10 calories, 2 grams of
carbohydrate (less than 1 gram of which is fiber), 1 gram of protein, provides
100% of daily vitamin A, 10% vitamin C, 2% calcium, and 4% iron.
