What it is

Lettuce blend typically refers to a mix of different types of lettuce, such as romaine, iceberg, and leaf lettuces. These are grown in fields or greenhouses, harvested, washed, and then chopped or torn for packaging. The blend offers a variety of textures and flavors in a single product.

Why it's used

Lettuce blends are primarily used to provide a fresh, crisp base for salads. They are found in pre-packaged salad kits, restaurant salads, and as a component in sandwiches and wraps. Manufacturers use them to offer convenience and a consistent salad experience.

Health notes

Lettuce is a common vegetable and is generally recognized as safe by the FDA. It is a source of vitamins and fiber. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various food ingredients, but specific evaluations for 'lettuce blend' as a distinct ingredient are not typically highlighted. No significant health concerns are associated with consuming lettuce at typical dietary levels.

Allergen info

Lettuce is not one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
