Lettuce Bun is a healthy alternative to traditional bread buns often used in low-carb or gluten-free diets. It involves using large, crisp lettuce leaves, typically iceberg or romaine, as a wrap or sandwich base instead of bread. Originating from health-conscious food trends, it’s popular in various cuisines, particularly American fast food and fusion recipes. Lettuce provides essential nutrients like vitamins A, C, and K, along with dietary fiber, all while being extremely low in calories. This bread substitute is also hydrating due to its high water content. Lettuce buns offer a fresh crunch and are ideal for people seeking lighter meal options or managing carbohydrate intake. However, they lack the energy-providing complex carbs found in traditional buns, which may not suit all dietary needs. Overall, lettuce buns are a versatile and nutritious way to make meals lighter while still enjoying sandwich-style dishes.
