Lettuce
Lettuce reaches its peak between May and September, when the British outdoor harvest provides the widest variety and best texture. While greenhouse cultivation and imports ensure year-round availability, the summer months offer the most flavorful leaves. It is low in calories and provides a hydrating source of vitamin K and folate.
