Alface Americana, also known as Iceberg lettuce, is a crisp, pale-green variety prized for its crunchy texture and refreshing taste. Native to the United States, it has become a global culinary staple, commonly used in salads, sandwiches, wraps, and garnishes. While its nutrient profile is less dense compared to other leafy greens, it still provides hydration and essential vitamins such as Vitamin K, which supports bone health, and small amounts of Vitamin A for eye health. Iceberg lettuce is low in calories, fat-free, cholesterol-free, and a good source of dietary fiber, making it a popular choice for weight-conscious diets. However, its lower antioxidant and nutrient content compared to darker greens like spinach or kale can be a drawback for those seeking a powerhouse of vitamins and minerals. Pairing it with nutrient-rich ingredients is recommended for a more balanced meal.
