As the synthesis or absorption of many nutrients is light dependent, the lower nutritional value of crisphead lettuce is due to the enclosure of its leaves in a head structure. In addition to varietal differences, nutritional quality of lettuce may be influenced by environmental factors such as ...
However, growth responses of lettuce to single addition of P or Fe into diluted biogas slurry were not significant. In addition, supplementation of P and Fe improved leaf chlorophyll content (determined as SPAD value), nitrate concentration significantly or slightly of the lettuces but not vitamin...
Even among the same family of vegetables such as leafy greens, some vegetables need higher concentrations. For example, kale and spinach are relatively “heavy feeders” compared to lettuce. The optimal nutrient formula and concentration also vary among cultivars of the same crop, such as lettuce ...
Leafy greens include spinach, kale, micro greens, collard greens, Swiss chard, arugula, watercress, romaine lettuce, and more. Leafy greens are a nutrient powerhouse, full of a variety of nutrients like folate, iron, lutein, vitamin K, and beta-carotene. 3. Berries Berries are loaded ...
For some people, this may be easy to accomplish–for example, by switching from iceberg lettuce to romaine lettuce, or increasing the relative proportion of vegetables and fruits in the diet compared to traditional snack foods. For other people, this may necessitate reversing prior lifelong trends...

Most importantly, the ANDI scores are based on calories, not volume or weight of food, so a lower-calorie food with more nutrients scores higher than a calorie-dense food, which is why foods like iceberg lettuce and kale score high.
Landfill leachate is a highly polluted wastewater resulting from the decomposition of organic waste in landfills. It contains high levels of organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus, heavy metals, and other contaminants of environmental and health concerns, but landfill leachate could also be used to produ...

For example, digital twins can be used to help remove weeds and grow lettuce as shown in Fig. 11 (using software as the application layer of smart farming practices that help intervene in weed removal and improve lettuce crop yields) (Verdouw et al., 2021), model GHG reductions for ...
