Our Verdict
When comparing celeriac to lettuce, we picked the lettuce.
Why?
In terms of macros, the celeriac has more fiber, carbs, and protein, making it the “more food per food” winning option in this category.
In the category of vitamins, celeriac has more of vitamins B3, B5, B6, and E, while lettuce has more of vitamins B1, B2, B9, and K, for a 4:4 tie here.
Looking at minerals, celeriac has more calcium, copper, magnesium phosphorus, potassium, selenium, and zinc, while lettuce has more iron and manganese, yielding a 7:2 win to celeriac.
In other considerations, celeriac has slightly more polyphenols, not a huge amount, but enough for a slender nominal win in this round too.
Adding up the sections makes for a clear overall win for celeriac, but by all means enjoy either or both, as diversity is good!
