About Mixed lettuce

Mixed lettuce typically combines various lettuce types, such as romaine, iceberg, arugula, butterhead, and red leaf, originating from regions in the Mediterranean and Europe.

Nutritionally, mixed lettuce is low in calories (around 10–15 calories per 100 grams) and rich in water content, making it hydrating and refreshing.

Its diverse mix brings together varying levels of nutrients, offering a broader nutritional range compared to a single type of lettuce.
