About Iceburg lettuce

Iceberg lettuce, a crisp and refreshing leafy green, is a staple in salads and sandwiches across various cuisines. Originating from the Mediterranean region, it gained popularity worldwide for its mild flavor and crunchy texture. This lettuce is low in calories, making it appealing for weight management, but it is also less nutrient-dense compared to other greens like spinach or kale. Iceberg is primarily composed of water, providing hydration, along with small amounts of vitamins A and K, folate, and potassium, which support bone health, cell function, and blood pressure regulation. Though it is not rich in fiber or antioxidants, its light taste and texture make it an excellent base for incorporating nutrient-packed vegetables, proteins, and dressings into meals. Iceberg lettuce serves as an approachable choice for adding bulk and crunch to dishes without overwhelming stronger flavors.
