Chopped iceberg lettuce is a crisp, refreshing veggie often enjoyed in salads, wraps, and sandwiches. Native to the 20th-century U.S., iceberg lettuce gained popularity for its mild taste and ease of transport due to its sturdy, layered structure. While it isn’t as nutrient-dense as darker leafy greens like spinach or kale, it does provide hydration, as it’s over 90% water. It contains small amounts of vitamin K, vitamin A, and dietary fiber, making it a light option for calorie-conscious meals. Though low in calories, iceberg is less rich in antioxidants compared to other lettuces, which might be a consideration for those seeking nutrient-packed greens. Its crisp texture and neutral flavor make it a versatile base for American, Mediterranean, and Asian dishes, adding crunch without overpowering. Ideal for layering or topping, chopped iceberg serves as a refreshing, low-calorie component in countless recipes.
