Iceberg Lettuce 500gms

Description

Iceberg lettuce is the crunchy, pale vegetable you’ll often find added to your fast-food burger or diner salad when you eat out. It has a neutral taste and refreshing crunch, making it a favorite among children who won’t eat other kinds of lettuce. It’s not as rich in nutrition as many other greens, but it does provide some benefits.

The nutrients in the iceberg lettuce can help you to meet the standard daily requirements for several vitamins and minerals. They include:

• Vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that helps keep your immune system healthy.
• Calcium, which keeps bones and teeth strong. It also supports muscle function, nerve function, and blood clotting.
• Vitamin K, a vitamin that works with calcium to prevent bone fractures. It’s also integral for blood clotting.
• Vitamin A (as beta carotene), a powerful antioxidant that helps to maintain night vision and eye health. It also supports cell growth.
• Folate, a B vitamin that helps to make DNA and genetic material. It’s especially important for women who are pregnant or who are planning to become pregnant.
• Potassium, a mineral that reduces blood pressure by lessening the effects of salt in the diet.
