Iceberg Lettuce

The displays in the grocers seem to suggest it is lowly. I typically use iceberg lettuce as the primary ingredient in my lunches. I usually just slice into the head, but today for some reason, I decided to peel. instead  I had never really noticed before how the leaves are all wrapped up in each other. It is rather amazing how the layers of leaves are so tightly folded from one side, then the other. There is barely any room. It is rather amazing and beautiful: not really lowly at all. What other treasures are hidden from view by my notion if its value.
