About Lettuce
Lettuce is a versatile leafy green widely used in salads, wraps, and as a garnish in cuisines across the globe. Thought to originate from the Mediterranean region, it comes in many varieties, including romaine, iceberg, butterhead, and leaf lettuce, each offering unique textures and flavors. Lettuce is low in calories, fat, and sodium, making it a popular choice for light, health-conscious meals. It's rich in water content, aiding hydration, and provides essential nutrients such as vitamin K, vitamin A, folate, and fiber. Darker varieties like romaine and leaf lettuce tend to offer higher nutrient density compared to iceberg. While lettuce is generally a wholesome option, its low calorie count means it may not be substantial enough as a main source of nutrition. Incorporating a variety of colorful vegetables can help create a balanced meal when lettuce serves as the base.
