Iceberg lettuce is a widely popular salad green known for its crisp texture and mild, slightly sweet flavor. This head lettuce features tightly packed pale green leaves that form a round, dense head. Often used as a base for salads or as a crunchy element in sandwiches and wraps, iceberg lettuce provides a refreshing and hydrating crunch. Its affordability and long shelf life make it a common choice for everyday meals and large gatherings. While not as nutrient-dense as other leafy greens, iceberg lettuce still provides some fiber and vitamins.

To keep iceberg lettuce crisp and fresh, remove any damaged outer leaves and wrap the head loosely in a paper towel or clean cloth. Place it in a plastic bag or container and store it in the refrigerator's crisper drawer. Avoid storing it near fruits like apples or bananas, as they release ethylene gas that can cause the lettuce to brown faster. It's best to use it within a week for optimal quality.
