Summer is the perfect time to eat fresh and light products, and fruit and vegetables are the best option, especially\u00a0lettuce<\/b>. This vegetable is perfect to keep you hydrated on the hottest days of the year thanks to its high-water content and it is also the star ingredient in\u00a0salads<\/b>.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Mediterranean Diet<\/b>\u00a0is very rich and offers us several dishes that provide all the nutrients we need to overcome the hot summer. The salads along with its fundamental ingredient, the lettuce, is one of them and can be mixed with fruits, seeds, nuts, other vegetables and even legumes.<\/p>\n
In CINATUR we take care of the seasonal\u00a0vegetable production<\/b>\u00a0to offer always the freshest products to consumers. Iceberg lettuce is one of the vegetables we work with and we encourage its consumption during the hottest months of the year.<\/p>\nProperties of the iceberg lettuce<\/h2>\n
As\u00a0vegetable exporters<\/b>, in CINATUR we encourage its consumption and especially the varieties that may exist of each one. Iceberg lettuce is a variety that also offers a high content of essential nutrients, although the amount is less than other types that have a greener leaf. Consuming two cups of this lettuce, it contributes a total of four grams of carbohydrates and almost two grams of fiber.<\/p>\n
In addition, it has a high content of water that helps hydrate the body. Among the\u00a0vitamins<\/b>\u00a0that can be found in this vegetable, you can find\u00a0vitamin K<\/b>, which helps the bone\u00b4s health and reduces the risk of suffering from osteoporosis.\u00a0Vitamin A<\/b>\u00a0is another beneficial substance found in iceberg lettuce and improves the skin\u00b4s health.\u00a0Folic acid<\/b>\u00a0is also present in this vegetable and in many others and is very necessary especially for pregnant women.<\/p>\nIceberg lettuce\u00b4s growing period<\/h3>\n
The best time to eat this variety of lettuce, as we mentioned before, is in the hottest months and when it is in season. In\u00a0CINATUR\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0we grow this vegetable from the month of\u00a0October to May<\/b>\u00a0or June, so it is a perfect food to consume in spring and early summer. It is very important to know the\u00a0vegetable distribution<\/b>\u00a0and the\u00a0season they grow<\/a>\u00a0to obtain a product with a high quality.<\/p>\n Iceberg lettuce is the star ingredient in salads and as experts in the\u00a0production and distribution of fruits and vegetables<\/b>\u00a0we encourage their consumption. One of our favorite recipes for the summer is a refreshing salad that combines several types of lettuce, including the iceberg variety cut into thin strips, arugula to give it a more bitter taste and oak leaf to add flavor. To this mixture we must add several types of seasonal fruits, such as kiwi and apple that will give a sweet touch and provide many vitamins. Finally include bean sprouts, chopped nuts and a dressing made with olive oil, lemon, soft vinegar, salt and pepper to taste.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Summer is the perfect time to eat fresh and light products, and fruit and vegetables are the best option, especially\u00a0lettuce.
