Health & Nutrition Benefits

Mt. Pleasant Growers not only grows a higher nutrient level lettuce in all of our varieties verses Iceberg lettuce. But, we also deliver our lettuce within 24 hours of harvest. Did you know that the nutritional value found in vegetables actually starts to deteriorate within the first day or two of harvesting. University of California studies show that vegetables can lose 15 to 55 percent of vitamin C, for instance, within a week. The Mt. Pleasant Grower lettuce varieties have 14 times more Vitamin A and 5 times more Vitamin K than in Iceberg lettuce.
