About Head lettuce

Head lettuce, commonly known as iceberg lettuce, is a crisp and refreshing vegetable often enjoyed in salads, sandwiches, and wraps. Native to Mediterranean regions, it owes its widespread popularity to its mild flavor and crunchy texture. Low in calories yet hydrating, head lettuce is composed primarily of water, making it an excellent choice for those seeking light, refreshing meals. It offers modest amounts of fiber, vitamin K, and vitamin C, while being naturally cholesterol-free and low in sodium. Although not as nutrient-dense as leafy greens like spinach or kale, head lettuce serves as a versatile base for dishes and a source of bulk in meals. Its mild taste pairs well with bold dressings and toppings. However, consumers should be mindful of added fats and calories from high-calorie dressings and accompaniments often found in recipes featuring lettuce.
