About Sweet butter lettuce

Sweet Butter Lettuce, known for its soft, velvety texture and mild, slightly sweet flavor, originates from European cuisine, particularly French and Mediterranean dishes. This delicate leafy green falls under the category of loose-head lettuces, often used as a base in salads or as a natural wrap for savory fillings. Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, butter lettuce supports eye health, immune function, and bone strength. It’s also a good source of folate and manganese, contributing to healthy metabolism and cellular repair. Low in calories and carbohydrates while high in hydration, it’s an excellent choice for weight management or refreshing meal options. However, its tenderness means it bruises easily and should be handled carefully. While naturally low in sodium and cholesterol-free, its healthiness can be diminished by high-fat dressings or additives. Sweet Butter Lettuce is a versatile and wholesome addition to a balanced diet.
