Does lettuce contain a lot of fiber or is its reputed roughage something else? What else could it be > Does lettuce contain a lot of fiber or is its reputed > roughage something else? What else could it be Nobody answered this one, so as the unofficial lettuce fiend I will... There's not much fibre in lettuce, only 1% by weight. It's just a big green low-calorie vitamin and mineral pill which is 96% water.

I would call that a high fiber food. Paul P. |
