Did you know that not that long ago iceberg lettuce was the only lettuce on the supermarket shelves?!  Now it barely gets a mention with all the pre-packaged mixed leaves, baby spinach, rocket and baby kale.

I grew up having iceberg lettuce as the staple for any salad, but once the “designer” lettuces came on the market the poor old iceberg doesn’t feature in my salads any more!  It is a good source of vitamin K, vitamin A and B6.  Also being 96% water it can help make you feel full and provide hydration.

I now love iceberg lettuce for use as wrap (instead of using wrap bread) or especially for san choy bau!
