Which has more vitamin c romaine lettuce or iceberg lettuce?
Romaine.
Can rabbits eat romain lettuce?
Yes, rabbits can eat romaine lettuce, but only the dark-coloured parts (tear off the white/light-coloured bits and avoid entirely the heart or baby leaves). Too much romaine can lead to illness, so romaine can be included in the rabbit's "salad" but rabbits shouldn't eat lettuce every day. See the related question below for more details about the rabbit diet.

What kinds of lettuce can rabbits not eat?
Just like humans, different rabbits have different taste preferences. The only way to know what type of foods one rabbit prefers is to observe her reactions when you feed it to her. Not all lettuces are healthy for rabbits. Avoid white/light-coloured varieties entirely (like iceberg and romaine hearts) because these are low in nutritional value for rabbits, and can lead to illness (like diarrhea). Dark-coloured lettuces (like fully-grown romaine, red leaf, green leaf) are healthy in moderation: they can be included in the rabbit's "salad" but they shouldn't be fed every day. See the related question below for more info about the rabbit diet.
Does romaine lettuce have nutritional value?
Yes, as do all foods, but it's not very dense. There aren't very many calories either, so you'd have to eat quite a bit of romaine lettuce to get a sizeable amount of anything. There's nothing wrong with that in and of itself, but if your typical salad consists of romaine and iceberg lettuce with a smattering of tomatoes and onions, topped with cheese, croutons and dressing, you're going to be eating a "salad" with many times more calories from dressing, cheese and croutons than the vegetables themselves. For the most nutritious salad, avoid the cheese, avoid the croutons, ditch the dressing, and pile on the veggies. Put on spinach instead of lettuce for a more nutritionally dense salad.
Can wild rabbits have romaine lettuce?

Where did roman lettuce originate?
A Romaine-like lettuce appeared in Egyptian tomb paintings that date back to 4500 B.C. Romaine eventually made its way to the Middle East and to the Mediterranean. Romaine was in common use on the Greek island of Kos, from which it gets its British name. In ancient Rome, Romaine lettuce was eaten both cooked and raw, and was a common part of the Roman diet. The Romans called it Cappadocian lettuce, and believed in its healthful and medicinal properties. According to Pliny, the emperor Augustus Caesar erected a statue to honor its healing abilities after being cured of a serious illness. Lettuce juice was used as a medicine by many ancient herbalists. The name Romaine dates from the time when the Popes moved from Rome to Avignon in the 14th century, bringing this type of lettuce with them and having it grown in the palace gardens. Light-green, dark-green, and red-spotted forms of Romaine were described in 1623. The type was common in Italy in the Middle Ages and is said to have been taken to France from Italy in 1537 by Rabelais. Toward the end of the 16th century it was still rarely grown in France and Germany. For much of the 20th century, Romaine wasn't known at all to many Americans. That's because of the overwhelming success of iceberg lettuce, which can withstand days if not weeks of shipping. As late as the mid-1970s, iceberg lettuce accounted for more than 95% of all of the lettuce grown in this country. Then along came the reborn Caesar salad. Invented in a Tijuana restaurant in the 1920s, for decades the Caesar salad was known as a California specialty. In the late 1970s the Ceasar salad was "discovered" by the fast food industry, and there followed a couple of decades of popularity. The top Romaine lettuce producing countries are China, United States, Spain, Italy and India. In the United States, California produces about 75% of the Romaine lettuce. The second top producing state is Arizona which accounts for another 19%.
What has more nutrition value cabbage or lettuce?
Cabbages are rich in vitamin K, vitamin C, and vitamin A. These are all natural antioxidants, which help suppress cancer and heart disease inducing free radicals. Vitamin C is especially important, as it is water soluble and cannot be stored in the body. Daily replenishment is essential. They also have moderate levels of dietary fiber, and a bit of protein. Romaine lettuce leads the pack with the most nutrition per calorie. In one cup of romaine lettuce - 8 calories - provides 82%DV of vitamin A, nearly 20% of vitamin C, and a whopping 70%DV of vitamin K. It also has a generous helping of manganese, potassium, dietary fiber, and folates. Iceberg lettuce (lettuce that heads like cabbage) offers much fewer nutritional benefits than romaine or butter leaf lettuce. Iceberg lettuce is relatively devoid of nutrition. So it's difficult to say which is more nutritious, cabbage or lettuce, as it depends on what types you are eating. In general, though, I would venture to say that cabbage is generally more nutritious than lettuce.
What is the meaning of lettuce?
Because it's a vegetable.It also depends on what type of lettuce you are eating. Iceberg lettuce has little nutrition whereas spinach or romaine have much more nutritional value. The rule is the greener the lettuce the more healthy.
Your Russian Tortoise won't eat anything but Romaine lettuce?
I've tried feeding him apples, spinach, carrots (shredded), broccoli, and peppers (green and red), but the only thing he eats is romaine lettuce, and he doesn't even eat that too much. How can i get him to eat a more varied diet? I've also let him have weeds which he seemed to enjoy but those are starting to die so... sooner or later he wont be able to have any weeds.
How many calories are in a 1lb water lettuce?
By water lettuce, I assume you mean iceburg lettuce. I figure it would take about 4 heads of lettuce to make one pound (a medium sized head is about 250g). There are 90 calories in each head, so:90x4 = 360 caloriesThat's without any dressings, oils, spices, etc. - just the lettuce.Lettuce has been called a negative calorie food. It takes more energy to chew and digest the lettuce than it provides in calories.
