To which scientific classification family does lettuce belong?

• Sunflower family:Many of the plants classified in the Asteraceae family include the most diverse and some of the largest families of flowering plants. Popular as food crops, plants such as Jerusalem artichokes and lettuce fit into this "sunflower family" group. The family also includes medicinal flowering plants like chamomile. Other plants in the group produce oils used in cooking, such as sunflower and safflower plants. Sunflowers are native to North America. Early Native Indians domesticated the plants as early as 1000 B.C. Lettuce was a food source in ancient Egypt, Rome, and China as far back as the 6th century B.C. Although exactly when lettuce came to North America is uncertain, it was an established colonial food item by the time of the American Revolutionary War. Source: WiseGeek.com
