Iceberg Lettuce

Iceberg Lettuce is a crisp, pale green head lettuce commonly used in sandwiches, salads and as a crunchy garnish in many Western cuisines. It is prized for its mild flavor and high water content, which gives it a refreshing crunch. Nutritionally Iceberg Lettuce is very low in energy at 14kcal per 100g, making it a good choice when you want volume and crunch with minimal calories. It provides small amounts of fiber, vitamin K and folate but is not a significant source of protein or healthy fats. From a health standpoint, Iceberg Lettuce is hydrating and low‑calorie, but contains fewer antioxidants and carotenoids than darker leafy greens — so swapping in darker leaves occasionally will boost micronutrients and phytonutrient intake while keeping similar culinary uses.
