Cabbages are rich in vitamin K, vitamin C, and vitamin A. These are all natural antioxidants, which help suppress cancer and heart disease inducing free radicals. Vitamin C is especially important, as it is water soluble and cannot be stored in the body. Daily replenishment is essential. They also have moderate levels of dietary fiber, and a bit of protein.

Romaine lettuce leads the pack with the most nutrition per calorie. In one cup of romaine lettuce - 8 calories - provides 82%DV of vitamin A, nearly 20% of vitamin C, and a whopping 70%DV of vitamin K. It also has a generous helping of manganese, potassium, dietary fiber, and folates.

Iceberg lettuce (lettuce that heads like cabbage) offers much fewer nutritional benefits than romaine or butter leaf lettuce. Iceberg lettuce is relatively devoid of nutrition.

So it's difficult to say which is more nutritious, cabbage or lettuce, as it depends on what types you are eating. In general, though, I would venture to say that cabbage is generally more nutritious than lettuce.
