Get ready to explore the best kinds of lettuce. We've ranked several types from best to worst, covering all uses - in salads, soups, or as a wrap for your In-N-Out cheeseburger. Lettuce, an annual plant in the daisy family, comes in many forms. Kale, while not technically lettuce, makes the list along with other leafy greens and some red and purple varieties. Most items on this list aren't actually lettuce, but that's beside the point. The question remains: which kind is best for you? Some types may have slightly more vitamin A or manganese, but the differences are negligible unless you're an alpaca eating lettuce all day. So, choose any vegetable and be proud - just go easy on the ranch dressing. Vote for your favorite lettuce varieties to eat raw, grill, blend, or simply admire.
