BENEFITS

Iceberg lettuce, often praised for its crisp texture and mild flavor, is a low-calorie vegetable that adds volume and hydration to meals without adding many calories. While it is lower in vitamins and minerals compared to darker leafy greens, iceberg lettuce is still a good source of fiber, which aids in digestion. Its high water content helps with hydration, making it a refreshing base for salads, wraps, and sandwiches.
