Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) is an annual plant of the family Asteraceae often grown as a leaf vegetable. Native to Earth, its leaves are edible. First cultivated by the ancient Egyptians, Lettuce has since spread throughout the world. Lettuce has a variety of culinary and herbal uses, most commonly eaten in salads or as a part of sandwiches and wraps. It is a hardy vegetable that may easily be grown in temperate environments, although it may suffer from fungal or bacterial diseases as well as several pests. Lettuce is a rich source of vitamins K and A as well as a moderate source of folate and iron.
By the twenty-sixth century, Lettuce is still grown and consumed by humans. In 2552, Jersey Morelli ordered a burrito that contained lettuce.[1] Lettuce was also among the provisions kept by Luther Mann during his time on Zeta Halo; he often fed some of it to a small deer-like animal, which he named "Vanessa", that came to his campsite each morning.[2]
