Butter lettuce, also known as Boston or Bibb lettuce, is a delicate and tender leafy green that originates from Europe and is now enjoyed worldwide. Distinct for its soft, velvety leaves and mild, slightly sweet flavor, this lettuce is a favorite in salads, wraps, and sandwiches. Nutritionally, butter lettuce is low in calories and offers a rich source of vitamins A, C, and K, which support immunity, skin health, and bone strength. It contains small amounts of iron, calcium, and folate, contributing to balanced energy and cellular health. Additionally, its high water content aids in hydration while providing dietary fiber, which promotes digestion. Despite these benefits, its nutritional density is lower compared to darker leafy greens like spinach or kale. Butter lettuce is gluten-free, low-carb, and fits well into many diets, making it a versatile choice for light and refreshing meals.
