Q: Lettuce is a member of what plant family?
- Sunflower
- Cabbage
- Spinach
Answer: A—Sunflower.
Did you know that darker-green lettuce leaves are more nutritious than lighter green leaves? Americans eat about 30 pounds of lettuce every year. That’s about five times more than what we ate in the early 1990 s.
