Boston Lettuce
Boston Lettuce is a tender, mild-flavored leafy green often sold as loose heads or individual leaves (also called butter or bibb lettuce) and commonly used in salads, sandwiches and as a fresh wrap. It is very low in energy at 18kcal per 100 g and prized for its soft texture and sweet, buttery taste. Nutritionally it contributes small amounts of fiber and protein while supplying vitamins A and K and folate, making it a light, nutrient-supporting base for meals. Because it is a delicate leafy green, it’s generally considered a very healthy choice among salad greens and pairs well with more nutrient-dense leaves like spinach or kale when you want extra iron, folate or antioxidants.
