Lettuce

Lettuce is a leafy green vegetable commonly used in salads, sandwiches, wraps, and garnishes. It comes in many varieties—such as iceberg, romaine, butterhead, and leaf lettuce—each with slightly different textures and flavors.

Lettuce leaves are typically crisp and tender, ranging in color from pale green to deep green, and sometimes tinged with red or purple. Its flavor is mild and refreshing, with some varieties offering a slight sweetness or subtle bitterness.

Low in calories and high in water content, lettuce provides vitamins A and K, along with small amounts of fiber and other nutrients. Its light, crunchy texture and clean taste make it a staple in fresh dishes around the world.
