The nutritional properties of lettuce are amazing and the health benefits have been known for years. The owners of Pro-Team Bun have managed to execute an end-around on the traditional wheat bun and here’s just a few reasons why from a nutritional view. Lettuce is a food known to be low in Sodium, and very low in Saturated Fat and Cholesterol. It contains essential vitamins such as Thiamin, Vitamin B6, Iron, Potassium, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Folate and Manganese. It is also a reliable source of dietary fiber. Talk about helping that burger across the goal line! The low-cab lettuce wrap may have been the beginning, but The Pro-Team Bun is the logical conclusion. The Pro-Team Bun is the choice ticket!

W. Atlee Burpee & Co. developed the variety of Iceberg lettuce we know today, over a hundred and twenty years ago in 1894, from an altogether looser headed lettuce called Batavia. This “new” lettuce was highly prized by President Thomas Jefferson and from the Roaring Twenties onwards, iceberg was used in every stylish kitchen from the Manhattans Stork Club, El Morocco and The Colony. Now it’s available to everyone looking for a wheat alternative and a healthier lifestyle.

The owners of Pro-Team Bun have found an incredible way for those of us who have those fast food cravings to now enjoy the benefits of eating in a way that lowers our risk of high blood pressure and heart disease in addition to improving the metabolism in our bodies [all while enjoying that juicy burger or hot dog.] Pro-Team Buns: A product everyone can cheer for.
