About Caesar lettuce
Caesar lettuce, commonly romaine lettuce, is the leafy base for the famous Caesar salad, a dish originating from Italian-American cuisine. Known for its crisp texture and slight bitterness, romaine lettuce provides a nutritious foundation rich in vitamins A and K, which support eye health and blood coagulation. This vegetable is also a good source of folate, essential for cell growth, and contains dietary fiber to aid digestion. Low in calories and packed with water content, Caesar lettuce is a hydrating, weight-friendly choice. However, the healthiness of a Caesar salad can vary depending on its dressing and toppings like croutons and cheese, which may add saturated fats and extra calories. For a lighter option, pair Caesar lettuce with a vinaigrette or fresh citrus. Versatile and refreshing, it's a key ingredient in salads while also complementing wraps and grilled dishes.
