Ijsbergsla, commonly known as iceberg lettuce, is a crisp, pale green vegetable widely used in salads, sandwiches, and wraps. Originating from North America, it gained global popularity for its mild flavor and refreshing crunch. Nutritionally, iceberg lettuce is low in calories and fat, making it a great choice for weight management. It is a good source of water, aiding hydration, and contains small amounts of vitamins such as Vitamin K and A, as well as minerals like calcium and potassium. However, compared to darker leafy greens, its nutrient density is lower, providing fewer antioxidants and fiber. Its versatility and neutral taste make it a staple ingredient in cuisines ranging from American to Mediterranean. While not the most nutrient-packed lettuce variety, it’s an excellent base for building nutrient-rich, colorful dishes when paired with other vegetables and protein sources.
