And floppy…

And makes you sleepy!

I’m not kidding: Ancient Egyptians and Romans even ate lettuce to help them fall asleep after dinner. Apparently some lettuce species secrete lactucarium, which is essentially a mild, lettucy opiate…but I can honestly say that I can easily pass out after every meal without the help of any damn lettuce secretions.

If you really want a leafy green with substance and strength look no further than

*drum roll*

the cabbage!

Sure, it’s got a bad rap for inducing flatulence, but you’d be lying to yourself if you said you didn’t enjoy tooting that special horn once in a while. (You may even  help wake up a few of those groggy, lettuce eaters in the process.)Poor Cabbage Can't Help It
