Full description:
Iceberg Lettuce is a classic crisphead variety known for its tightly formed heads, crunchy texture, and refreshing, mild flavor. Perfect for fresh salads, sandwiches, and wraps, it produces dense, pale green heads that stay crisp and cool even after harvest. While lower in calories, Iceberg lettuce still provides hydration and small amounts of vitamins A and K, making it a refreshing addition to summer meals. It is not considered a medicinal herb, but its high water content supports hydration and digestion.
Full Growing Information from Seed:

- Prefers full sun to partial shade and fertile, well-drained soil.
- Mulch to retain moisture and keep soil cool.
