What it is
Organic lettuce juice is derived from the leaves of the lettuce plant, a leafy green vegetable. It is produced by washing, chopping, and pressing lettuce to extract its liquid content, often with organic certification ensuring it's grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use organic lettuce juice primarily as a natural coloring agent, imparting a green hue to foods and beverages. It can also contribute a mild vegetable flavor and is found in products like fruit and vegetable juices, smoothies, and some alcoholic beverages.
Health notes
Organic lettuce juice is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamins and minerals naturally present in lettuce. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar vegetable-derived ingredients. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming foods containing organic lettuce juice at typical levels.
Allergen info
Lettuce is not one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
