LETTUCEICEBERG

Description

Iceberg lettuce, a crisp head variety, has a round, tightly packed head, resembling a cabbage. Its name comes from the way growers packed it in ice for shipping in the 1920s. Iceberg has crisp, sturdy, pale green leaves and a fresh, very mild flavor. Although less nutritious than darker-leaved lettuces, this popular lettuce holds up well and lends a refreshing crunch. Iceberg is mainly used fresh.
