Cover Story: In indoor cultivation, the production of value-added vegetables is particularly important due to high production costs. This study assessed the biofortification of indoor-grown baby-leaf lettuce using aeroponics. Four experiments were conducted by adding different concentrations of Zn (from 10 to 450 µM) or Cu (from 3 to 250 µM) into nutrient solution. A fifth experiment was conducted by simultaneously adding the optimal concentration of I (5 µM), Se (13 µM), Zn (250 µM) and Cu (150 µM). Higher concentrations of Cu, Zn, I, or Se in the nutrient solution led to an increase in their concentrations in lettuce leaves. Simultaneously biofortifying baby-leaf lettuce with these four minerals is a practical and convenient way to integrate these micronutrients into the diet without reducing the yield or quality of lettuce.
