Iceberg lettuce

How They Grow

• It is particularly liked due to its sweetness and reduced amount of waste.
• Its cultivation commences in specialist nurseries. Only the best plants are chosen to be planted in the field.
• 30 to 90 days elapse from planting the seedling in the field to its maturation.
• The harvest is done by hand, extremely selectively.

Their benefits

• Rich in vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium and fibre.
• It stimulates the natural functioning of the intestine.
• It has a high satiating power: eat it at the start of the meal.
• It rehydrates the body and helps to restore the balance of mineral salts and trace elements lost through sweating.
• The “fat” consistency of the leaves makes this lettuce crispy and refreshing.

Conservation

Compared to other lettuces, it lasts longer in the refrigerator.
Store it in the vegetable drawer, wrapped in a paper bag or in an unsealed plastic bag.
