What causes rust color on iceberg lettuce?
Iceberg lettuce changes color because of enzymes. When lettuce is cut, enzymes from cells are released. One enzyme, polyphenoloxidase, reacts with polyphenol molecules in the lettuce, forming brown pigments.
Yes. The lettuce produces fluffy seeds on a flower stalk that comes up from inside the head of the lettuce.
Can rabbits eat Green Leaf lettuce?
In the long term YES! It has no nutrients, It is mainly water. They will eat it happily and will feel full but if offered to them as a main part of their diet, they will starve to death. I tried to save a bunny that died from a main diet of iceberg. Dark leafy greens such as Romaine and Green leaf in moderation as treats are great for them.
How much does romaine lettuce cost?
You can purchase romaine lettuce at varied prices from store, health foods anywhere from 79 cents to two dollars a head. Romaine lettuce is the best nutritional choice.
What about lettuce when on coumadin?
Lettuce has Vitamin K. Those on coumadin should be careful with foods that contain high doses of vitamin k. This doesn't mean you can't eat lettuce. You can, but if you suddenly start eating tons of lettuce everyday your coumadin levels will need to be checked and maybe your dose altered.
Does lettuce have sugar in it?
No, lettuce doesn't turn to sugar when digested. Examples of foods that do; peas, potatoes, noodles are all carbohydrates which give us energy. Some will cause us to gain unwanted weight if we are not careful and don't exercise.
They would if they could. Lettuce is just another green plant to a cow, and it'll chow down without thinking more about it. As an aside, but on a related note, we don't feed cows lettuce. That's because lettuce is sold to people, and also because the nutritional value of lettuce is low. It's trace elements and fiber are what make it attractive for us, but would make it a less-than-best choice for a cow. Cows would rather eat grains if they have a choice. And a lot of what they are fed are enriched grains.
Arugula, also known as rocket, is a healthy and yummy green for rabbits and it can be incorporated into the rabbit's "salad." Some rabbits don't like it very much because it does have a strong flavour, but other rabbits love it. See the related question below for more info about the rabbit diet.

There is no problem with guinea pigs eating a small amount of lettuce daily. They certainly enjoy it. It's true that lettuce is high in water, so there is some chance of a guinea pig developing diarrhoea if it eats too much. Always remove any uneaten lettuce afterwards, as most guinea pigs will only eat what at they want, and the remaining lettuce will get fusty.
What happens to the cells of a lettuce leaf after you add dressing to it?
It wilts because dressings are typically more concentrated than the cells of the lettuce, putting dressing on ahead of time will cause the lettuce cells to lose water because of osmosis. the water will tend to want to LEAVE the cell to go to equillibrium.
