I is for....

Iceberg lettuce

Have I eaten any of these before?
Iceberg lettuce... yes.... I'm pretty disappointed that there is only one item for today. Everything else was Indian-something or other.

Hero of the day?
Iceberg Lettuce! (are you surprised?)
  • Loads of water
  • Low calories
  • Vitamin A, B1, B2, C and K
