1. Is the moss lettuce?

Tundra is not lettuce. Moss is rich in carbohydrates, protein, crude fiber and minerals, as well as fat and vitamins.

Second, the difference between moss and lettuce

1. Different nutrient elements

Moss is rich in carbohydrates, protein, crude fiber and minerals, as well as fat and vitamins.

Lettuce is rich in nutrients, especially in leaves. Every 500 grams of fresh lettuce leaves contain 10 grams of protein, 2.5 grams of fat, 16.5 grams of carbohydrates, 190 mg of calcium, 185 mg of phosphorus, 5.5 mg of iron, 10.7 mg of carotene, 0.6 mg of vitamin B2, 75 mg of vitamin C, etc.

However, the content in the stem is much lower. For every 500 grams of lettuce stem, the protein content is only 1.5 grams, the fat is only 0.2 grams, the carbohydrate content is only 4.7 grams, and the content of carotene and vitamin C is very small.

Fresh and slightly bitter lettuce taste, can stimulate the secretion of digestive enzymes, digestive glands and bile secretion, thus promoting the function of various digestive organs; it can also regulate the nervous system.

3. Different growing environments

Moss is big enough to be called macroalgae because it is multicellular and is a giant compared to unicellular algae that are only a few microns to a few hundred microns in diameter.
