(Lettuce, Green Gem) We first encountered gem lettuce in our local supermarket
as part of a 4-pack of petite lettuce from Artisan®. Gem lettuce grows in broad
compact heads with wide leaves, a crunchy texture with a sweet flavor, which
makes a nice addition to salads. It also comes in a red 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.

The
above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31):
'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every
tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the
earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that
has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all
that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
