About Alface
Alface, commonly known as lettuce, is a versatile leafy green that originates from ancient Mediterranean regions, though it is now grown and enjoyed worldwide. It is a staple in many cuisines, particularly in salads, wraps, and sandwiches, due to its crisp texture and mild flavor. Nutritionally, alface is low in calories and provides essential vitamins like A, K, and folate, along with minerals such as potassium and calcium. It also has a high water content, aiding hydration, and contains dietary fiber, which supports digestion. While iceberg lettuce has less nutrient density compared to darker varieties like romaine or butterhead, all types of alface contribute to a healthy diet when paired with nutrient-rich ingredients. Its light flavor makes it an excellent base for numerous dishes, offering a healthy and refreshing touch to meals. However, it should be complemented with varied vegetables for a more balanced nutrient profile.
