Featured Ingredients

Lettuces contain several incredibly unique, health-promoting compounds not found in other vegetables. These include a special carotenoid called lactucaxanthin, which demonstrates anti-diabetic activity, as well as the compounds lactucin and lactucopicrin, which have potent pain-reducing properties and gentle sleep-inducing effects.

Onions possess potent antimicrobial activity, protecting against various bacteria, fungi, molds and yeast.  The antibacterial activity of red varieties is higher than that of yellow and white varieties!

Cucumbers have an incredibly high water content of 95% and are particularly rich in vitamin K and beneficial phytonutrients. With a Nutrivore Score of 472, they are a high nutrient-dense food and one of the most popular “vegetables” around the world.
