About Chinese lettuce
Chinese lettuce, also known as celtuce or stem lettuce, is a versatile vegetable originating from East Asia, particularly China, where it's a staple in many traditional dishes. Unlike conventional lettuce, its thick stalk is the highlight, offering a mildly nutty flavor and crisp texture. Rich in dietary fiber, Chinese lettuce supports healthy digestion, while its vitamin-packed profile, including vitamins A, C, and K, contributes to skin health, improved immunity, and strong bones. It’s also a source of antioxidants, which help combat oxidative stress in the body. Low in calories and fat, it fits well into weight-conscious diets. The tender leaves can be stir-fried, added to soups, or enjoyed raw, while the crunchy stalk is often peeled and sliced for salads or pickling. However, like many leafy greens, excessive consumption may amplify oxalate sensitivity for some individuals, so balanced intake is recommended.
