1. Different varieties, there are essential differences between cabbage and lettuce, so we must distinguish them carefully. Cabbage, also known as cabbage or cabbage, is a plant of the genus Brassica in the Brassicaceae family. Lettuce is a variant of the genus Lactuca in the Asteraceae family, and was later also called lettuce. The two varieties are completely different.
2. The appearance is different. The top of the cabbage is the prototype, with wavy and unobvious serrations on the edges. Generally, the leaves are wrapped very tightly, and it is not very easy to tear them apart by hand. The stems of lettuce are upright, the basal leaves and lower stems and leaves are very large, the leaves are oval or elliptical, the texture is crisp and tender, and there are no petioles. It is a relatively common leaf vegetable.
3. The taste is different. The stems and leaves of cabbage taste very hard and full of water, but have a distinct smell of cabbage. Lettuce is a variant of lettuce and tastes more delicious than cabbage. It is sweet, tender and refreshing, so although both are vegetables, cabbage is not as good as lettuce in terms of texture.
