About Butter lettuce

Butter lettuce, also known as Bibb or Boston lettuce, is a delicate, tender leafy green with a mild, slightly sweet flavor. Native to Europe, it is a staple in various cuisines, including French and American, prized for its velvety texture and soft, cup-shaped leaves that are perfect for wraps, salads, and garnishes. Nutritionally, butter lettuce is low in calories and high in vitamins and minerals, including vitamin A, vitamin K, and folate, which support healthy skin, bone strength, and cellular function. Its mild taste and versatility make it a popular choice for health-conscious meals. While it lacks the fiber content of darker, denser greens, butter lettuce still contributes to hydration and provides essential nutrients. Opt for fresh, organic varieties to maximize its nutritional benefits, and enjoy its buttery texture as a lighter alternative to heavier greens like spinach or kale.
