Baby lettuce is a tender, young green harvested before it matures, offering a mild, slightly sweet flavor and delicate texture. It belongs to the broader lettuce family, which includes varieties like romaine, butterhead, and red leaf. Originating from ancient cultivation practices in the Mediterranean, lettuce has become a staple in global cuisines, particularly in salads and wraps. Packed with nutrients, baby lettuce is an excellent source of vitamins A, C, and K, vital for immune health, skin, and bone strength. It is rich in fiber, promoting digestion, and provides hydration due to its high water content. Low in calories and fat-free, it’s a healthy addition to meals. Baby lettuce can be enjoyed fresh or blended into smoothies. However, its fragile leaves wilt quickly, so it’s best consumed soon after purchase for maximum freshness and nutrient retention.
