About Lettuce cup
Lettuce cups are a versatile culinary staple often associated with Asian cuisine, particularly Chinese and Thai dishes, where they serve as healthy alternatives to wraps or buns. Typically made using crisp and sturdy lettuce varieties like iceberg or butter lettuce, these cups function as edible vessels for flavorful fillings, such as stir-fried meats, tofu, vegetables, or rice noodles. Low in calories and carbohydrates, lettuce cups appeal to those seeking gluten-free, low-carb, or lighter meal options. Packed with fiber, vitamins A, K, and C, lettuce itself promotes hydration and supports digestive health. However, the nutritional value of a lettuce cup largely depends on the filling; while lean proteins and vegetables contribute to a balanced dish, fillings heavy in sauces, oils, or added sugars can increase their calorie content. Whether enjoyed as appetizers, entrees, or snacks, lettuce cups offer a refreshing way to incorporate more vegetables into your diet.
