What it is

Red oak leaf lettuce is a leafy green vegetable with red-tinged, lobed leaves. It is a variety of loose-leaf lettuce, meaning it does not form a tight head. It is grown as a cool-season crop and is popular for its slightly bitter, nutty flavor and attractive color.

Why it's used

Red oak lettuce is primarily used as a fresh ingredient in salads and as a garnish. Its tender leaves add color, texture, and a mild flavor to dishes. It is often found in pre-packaged salad mixes, alongside other greens and vegetables.

Health notes

Red oak lettuce is a whole food and is not subject to the same regulatory oversight as food additives. It is a source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not specifically regulate lettuce as a food additive. No international bodies like JECFA or EFSA have evaluated it as an additive. It is generally considered a healthy component of a balanced diet.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Lettuce is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA, nor does it contain gluten.
