Iceberg lettuce does in fact contain nutritional value even though some people have said it doesn't.

Iceberg lettuce contains iron, Calcium, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Folate, Magnesium, Potassium and even phosphorus which are all healthy nutrients that our bodies need to stay healthy.

Iceberg lettuce is also very refreshing to eat on a hot summer day due to the water content it contains and Iceberg lettuce makes great salads and is very tasty as well.
