Little Gem lettuce leaves are a compact and crunchy variety of lettuce prized for their sweet, buttery flavor and tender texture. Originally cultivated in Europe, they are now a popular ingredient in Mediterranean, American, and fusion cuisines. Rich in essential nutrients, Little Gem lettuce is an excellent source of vitamins A, C, and K, which support eye health, immune function, and bone strength. It offers dietary fiber for digestion and contains antioxidants that help protect against cellular damage. Naturally low in calories, sugar, and fat, it is a healthy choice for salads, wraps, or grilled dishes. However, preparation methods like adding creamy dressings or high-sodium toppings can affect its nutritional balance. Enjoyed raw or lightly cooked, Little Gem lettuce invites nutrient-packed versatility while enhancing any dish with its subtly refreshing taste.
