Default Beet Tops VS Lettuce

Hi
I don't buy, the 1.25 a head for leaf lettuce because of finances..
I saw it as high as 1.39!! And, I don't believe that head lettuce has
the nutrition of green leaf lettuce.

I have tons of beets from my garden..so I've been fast frying beet
tops with a little olive oil, or just steaming with a little water. I
add a few pine nuts and currants and they are delicious!

Am I getting the same nutriotion from the beet tops as I would be if I
bought my usual green leaf lettuce? The beets AND tops are FRESH
PICKED!

What say?

Thanks folks,
Mike
