Showcasing the new superfood: Watercress

Did you know that the humble Watercress is the most nutrient-dense produce you can buy?

Watercress is a dark, leafy green that grows in natural spring water. Historically, people have used watercress as little more than a garnish. Now, however, it is seeing a resurgence in popularity as one of the latest superfoods.

According to a recent study conducted by the US CDC, watercress has a nutrient density score of 100 - A perfect score! Watercress is rich in vitamin K, vitamin C, folate, and vitamin B9.

Raw watercress has a peppery taste, similar to mustard and wasabi. Once cooked, the pepperiness diminishes, leaving a distinctive vegetable flavour.
