Bib lettuce, also known as butterhead lettuce, is a tender, leafy green that originated in Europe and is prized for its mild, buttery flavor and velvety texture. With a pale green hue and crisp yet soft leaves, it is commonly used in salads, wraps, and sandwiches, adding a refreshing and light component to dishes. Nutritionally, Bib lettuce is low in calories while rich in water content, making it hydrating and ideal for weight-conscious diets. It provides essential vitamins such as A and K, which support eye health and blood clotting, along with small amounts of folate and antioxidants that promote overall wellness. Though not a significant source of protein or fiber, Bib lettuce is versatile and complements a wide array of cuisines, including Mediterranean and American dishes. For optimal health benefits, pair it with nutrient-dense toppings and dressings.
