About Alface picado

Alface Picado, commonly known as chopped lettuce, is a versatile ingredient popular in salads, wraps, and various dishes across global cuisines. While its origin isn’t tied to a specific culture, lettuce itself has been widely cultivated and enjoyed for centuries, particularly in Mediterranean and Western diets. This leafy green is low in calories and rich in vitamins A and K, supporting healthy vision, bone strength, and proper blood clotting. Its high water content aids hydration, while dietary fiber supports digestion. Alface Picado is heart-healthy and ideal for weight management when paired with other nutrient-dense foods. However, it offers modest amounts of nutrients compared to darker, richer greens like spinach or kale. Consuming lettuce with excessive creamy dressings or calorie-laden toppings can diminish its health benefits, so balance is key. A staple in healthy eating, Alface Picado is a fresh, crunchy addition to countless meals.
