                                Many people mistakenly believe iceberg lettuce is nutritionally worthless, yet it contains small amounts of beneficial nutrients like Vitamin K, folate, and potassium. The perception that it's not healthy is largely due to its high water content, which dilutes its nutritional value compared to darker leafy greens.
