Iceberg Lettuce Description:

Iceberg lettuce, known for its crisp texture and mild flavour, is a popular leafy green vegetable enjoyed in salads and sandwiches worldwide. Its tightly packed leaves form a firm, round head, with pale green to white outer leaves and a slightly darker green core. This lettuce is prized for its refreshing crunch and ability to provide a light and crisp base for various toppings and dressings.  Its ability to add texture and freshness to dishes makes it a beloved ingredient in countless recipes.
