About Gem lettuce leaves

Gem lettuce leaves are small, crisp, and tender, offering a subtle, slightly sweet flavor that pairs well with a wide range of dishes. Often used in Mediterranean and European cuisines, these versatile greens are a favorite for salads, wraps, and garnishes. Packed with vitamins A and K, gem lettuce contributes to healthy skin, vision, and bone health. It's also low in calories and contains dietary fiber, aiding in digestion and promoting a feeling of fullness. While its nutritional benefits are numerous, gem lettuce is not a significant source of protein or fat, making it ideal as a component in a balanced meal rather than a standalone source of sustenance. This humble leafy green is easy to incorporate into various dishes and adds a refreshing crunch to any plate.
