Ukers! Little gem lettuce

I have seen a lettuce in the shop called "Little gem". It looks like a mini romaine, is this safe to feed daily? I have started to feed it and the pigs love it, I feed it along side the Romaine but it is cheaper and you get more for your money. So any Ukers know if it is ok to feed daily?

Thanks!

Yup, little gem is fine to feed daily - I remember asking Ly about it a while ago. The only lettuce which is dodgy is iceberg which contains mainly water, and few nutrients, and can cause diarrhoea.

Re: Ukers! Little gem lettuce

Slightly off topic, but when I first saw this thread, I was trying to figure out what a Uker was. Then I read the thread, saw who was responding and realized that it was UKer. I think I read faster than my brain can comprehend sometimes.
