About Watercress
Watercress is a leafy green vegetable native to Europe and Asia, celebrated for its peppery flavor and versatility in cuisine. Closely related to mustard greens and arugula, it has been a staple in salads, soups, and garnishes for centuries. Packed with essential nutrients, watercress is an excellent source of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as calcium, magnesium, and powerful antioxidants. These qualities contribute to its reputation as a superfood, supporting immune health, bone strength, and reducing oxidative stress. With just four calories per cup, it’s a low-calorie addition to any meal that provides a wealth of nutrition. Its high water content and refreshing taste make it a perfect complement to lighter dishes. However, individuals taking blood-thinning medications should consume it in moderation due to its high vitamin K levels. Overall, watercress is a nutrient-dense and flavorful way to enhance a variety of recipes.
