Iceberg lettuce is a type of lettuce that is known for its crisp, crunchy texture and mild flavor. It has a pale green color and a tightly-packed head that can be quite dense.
The taste of iceberg lettuce is very mild, with a slightly sweet and refreshing flavor. Its texture is often described as crisp and watery, which makes it a popular choice for salads and sandwiches. Because it is so mild in flavor, it is also often used as a base for more strongly-flavored ingredients like dressings, cheeses, and meats.
