Lamb's Lettuce - a winter gem!

Lamb's Lettuce - a winter gem!

Lamb's Lettuce, which grows throughout the winter, is packed with water and beta-carotene, which is an anti-oxidant that turns into vitamin A when digested. Vitamin A plays an important role in iron metabolism, immune system health, and it also promotes growth and good eyesight. Lamb's lettuce is also a source of vitamin B9, which helps with cellular renewal, and it is a source of potassium, which is beneficial for the nervous system and muscular function. It also contains calcium - to help strengthen the skeleton; magnesium - which supports a healthy immune system; iron for healthy growth and development, and phosphorus - which supports the growth and development of the skeleton.

We include Lamb's Lettuce in our Essential Food Hampers - your tortoise will love its soft, buttery, slightly nutty flavour!
