  ABSTRACT: While it is clear that dietetic choices and habits are contributing to health state of individuals, mounting evidence suggests the biomolecular contents of foods vary in line with the nutritional milieu. Even when it is hard to distinguish the causal factors of this variation, various concentrations of flavonoids or polyphenols in lettuce contribute to preventive strategies of several health conditions. The aim of this study is to investigate flavonoids and polyphenol contents of lettuce grown in katsina state, Nigeria and their potential beneficial role in immunocompetence of consumers.
