About Gem lettuce
Gem lettuce, a variety of crisphead lettuce, is prized for its tender texture and mildly sweet flavor. Originally cultivated in Europe, it is often associated with Mediterranean cuisine and is a popular choice for salads, wraps, and as a garnish. This petite lettuce is rich in essential nutrients, including vitamin A for healthy vision and immune support, and vitamin K, which promotes strong bones and blood clotting. It also offers fiber to support digestion and maintain fullness, while being low in calories—making it ideal for weight-conscious diets. Gem lettuce is primarily water, which helps with hydration, but contains less protein compared to more robust greens like spinach or kale. Its small, compact shape and mild taste make it a versatile and approachable addition to meals without overpowering other flavors.
