LETTUCE
ICEBERG
Particularly
widespread and
with important
nutritional value,
iceberg is rich in
vitamins and
antioxidants. It is
refreshing and
crunchy, nutritious
like all leafy green.
Nutritional Facts of Iceberg Lettuce
• Iceberg lettuce is an excellent source of potassium and
manganese, as well as a very good source of iron, calcium,
magnesium, and phosphorous. It also contains traces of
sodium, copper, and zinc.
• Iceberg lettuce is an excellent source of vitamin A, K, and C. It
is also a good source of thiamin, vitamin B6, and folate
(vitamin B).
• Iceberg lettuce is low in sodium and is also very low in
saturated fat and cholesterol.
With only 10 calories a
portion, you can freely
add it in sandwiches, in
tacos or even in your
salad to make it tastier. Eat iceberg
to be fit
and slim.
Health Benefits of Iceberg Lettuce
Iceberg lettuce has a high water content and is very low in
calories. Therefore, it is good for weight loss efforts. However, it
has relatively low amounts of nutrients. It is considered that,
owing to the folate content, iceberg lettuce helps in fighting
heart diseases and strokes, as well as protecting infants from
neural tube defects if it is consumed in appropriate amounts by
pregnant women.
LETTUCE IN ANCIENT TIMES…
Lettuce is an annual herbaceous plant of rapid
growth of the family of Bafa. It has been
cultivated since the Roman times and its origin
is Asia. It was mentioned by Herodotus of
Theophrastus and Dioscorides and called
‘thridakini’ or ‘thridax’.
Lettuce is leafy and very
rich in water (about 95%),
so it is a food very low in
calories.
Few information…
Lettuce is rich in vitamins such as A,
C and E. That’s why it has heart
protecting action and it acts like an
antioxidant for our organism.It
contains zeaxanthin (which is
carotenoid) and lutein. Both of them
can act as an anticancerous essence.
HEART PROTECTING
ACTION
SO….
Also, it has great
comprehensiveness in
vitamin B1 (which is
also called thiamine), a
substance crucial for
the smooth functioning
of the nervous system.
Eat lettuce for
healthy mind
and spirit.
FURTHER INFORMATION
Two cups of lettuce contain about 2.5
grams of fiber (10% of the
recommended daily amount ) . Its
season is in March. However, in
Greece, people find it relatively easily
during winter and the first two
months of spring.
INFORMATION FOR…HOUSEWIVES!
• Lettuce shouldn’t be cut into small pieces
since it oxidizes very quickly. That’s why we
prefer it freshly cut.
• Lettuce can be eaten raw, plain and in
salads with various other vegetables. It can
even be cooked with meat (e.g. frikasse) in
order to give highly palatable results.
LETTUCE WORLDWIDE…
The U.S.A. have the world’s largest
production of lettuce, followed by
China,Spain and Canada. In Greece,
there are approximately 19.000
hectares of lettuce cultivation and
the annual production reaches
25.000 tones.
