Logging Iceberg Lettuce: what to know

Iceberg is the crispest of the salad leaves and 95.6 g of every 100 g is water. A cup of shredded leaves is only 72 g, so even a big salad base comes to 10 kcal for the lettuce itself. Romaine is listed at 17 kcal per 100 g and iceberg at 14, and both often get logged under the single word lettuce.
