Iceberg lettuce, tastes good to me and I like a chunk with Thousand
Island or Russian dressing, especially with cold small shrimp. It has a
pleasant texture but, probably because it is popular, is disparaged by
some. Iceberg lettuce is an excellent source of vitamin A, vitamin K and
vitamin C. It is also a good source of thiamin, vitamin B6 and folate
(vitamin B).
