About Butterhead lettuce
Butterhead lettuce, also known as Boston or Bibb lettuce, is a tender, leafy green with a mildly sweet flavor and soft, delicate texture. Originating from Mediterranean regions, this lettuce is a staple in salads and wraps, often featured in cuisines that emphasize fresh, light ingredients. It is rich in essential nutrients such as vitamin K, vitamin A, and folate, which support bone health, vision, and cellular function. Butterhead lettuce is also a good source of hydration thanks to its high water content and is very low in calories, making it an excellent choice for weight management. While it contains a modest amount of fiber, it is not as nutrient-dense as darker leafy greens like spinach or kale. However, its smooth leaves and subtle flavor make it a versatile option for enhancing dishes or enjoying as a base for dressings and toppings.
