Buttered lettuce, also known as butterhead lettuce, is a tender and slightly sweet leafy green often used in salads, wraps, or as a garnish. Originating in Europe, it has soft, loose leaves with a velvety texture, making it a versatile choice in both modern and traditional cuisines. This lettuce is low in calories and rich in essential nutrients, including vitamin A, vitamin K, and folate, which support eye health, blood clotting, and overall cellular function. It also contains a good amount of water and fiber, aiding in hydration and digestion. Buttered lettuce is an excellent choice for those aiming to maintain a balanced diet, as it is fat-free, cholesterol-free, and minimally processed in its natural state. However, its mild flavor pairs perfectly with rich dressings, which can add extra calories if consumed in excess. Perfect for light, refreshing dishes, buttered lettuce is a staple green with a nutritious edge.
