Lettuce is a leafy green vegetable commonly used in salads, wraps, and garnishes across a variety of cuisines. Thought to have originated in the Mediterranean region, it has been cultivated for thousands of years and comes in several varieties, including Romaine, Iceberg, and Butterhead. Lettuce is low in calories, fat, and sodium, making it a healthy addition to meals. It is a good source of vitamin K, which supports bone health, and contains small amounts of vitamin A, folate, and potassium. Its high water content helps with hydration and digestion. While lettuce is nutritionally beneficial, lighter varieties like Iceberg have fewer vitamins and minerals compared to darker, more nutrient-rich types such as Romaine or Green Leaf. Incorporating lettuce into your diet can enhance meals with texture and crunch while supporting overall health.
