Isbergssallad, or iceberg lettuce, is a crisp and refreshing leafy green commonly used in salads, wraps, and as a garnish. Originating from the United States, it gained popularity due to its mild flavor, crunchy texture, and long shelf life. Iceberg lettuce is low in calories, fat, and carbohydrates, making it a great choice for weight-conscious meals. It contains small amounts of vitamins A and K, as well as antioxidants, although its nutrient profile is less robust compared to darker leafy greens like spinach or kale. Its high water content helps with hydration, but it’s relatively low in fiber. While versatile in both Western and global cuisines, including sandwiches and tacos, iceberg lettuce is often paired with richer dressings or toppings, which can add calories and reduce its health benefits. For a balanced diet, it’s best enjoyed alongside nutrient-dense vegetables and lean proteins.
