Bibb lettuce, also known as butter lettuce or Boston lettuce, is a tender, mildly sweet leafy green originally cultivated in Kentucky by John Bibb in the 19th century. Its soft, cup-shaped leaves are a favorite in salads and wraps, commonly featured in Western and European cuisine. Bibb lettuce is low in calories and rich in essential nutrients, including vitamins A and K, which support eye health and bone strength, as well as antioxidants that help fight free radicals. With its high water content and fiber, it promotes hydration and healthy digestion. Bibb lettuce is free from fats and cholesterol, making it an excellent choice for heart-healthy diets. While it pairs wonderfully with rich dressings or toppings, it’s important to moderate added ingredients to avoid diminishing its healthy benefits. Versatile and delicious, Bibb lettuce is a nutritious addition to a balanced diet.
