About Butter head lettuce
Butterhead lettuce, also known as Bibb or Boston lettuce, is a tender, leafy green with a mildly sweet flavor and velvety texture. Originating in the Mediterranean, it features soft, loose heads of light green to yellow-tinged leaves, making it a versatile ingredient in salads, wraps, and sandwiches across various cuisines. Nutritionally, butterhead lettuce is low in calories and a good source of vitamins A and K, which support eye health and proper blood clotting. It also contains folate, an essential nutrient for cell function, and small amounts of potassium, which helps regulate blood pressure. Its high water content contributes to hydration while being easy to digest. However, butterhead lettuce is low in fiber compared to darker, more fibrous greens. To balance its nutritional profile, pair it with a variety of other vegetables and lean proteins for a well-rounded meal.
