A delicate leafy vegetable with round, finely lobed leaves. This variety is very easy to grow and is among the healthiest foods we humans can eat. Watercress is incredibly rich in many minerals as well as vitamins A, C, and E which are good for the skin, eyesight, and immune system. 100 g of watercress contains more vitamin C than a clementine, more vitamin E than broccoli, and more calcium than 100 ml of milk.
Watercress has a special but appetizing, mild mustard flavor that reminds a little of classic sandwich cress. It is excellent in salads or as a topping on dishes and sandwiches.
Watercress soup with potatoes and chives or a salad with caramelized walnuts, apple, and watercress are two favorite recipes for this variety, but it is almost best enjoyed simply on a breakfast sandwich.
A big plus for this variety is that it is also organic!
(This variety is perfect for hydroponic cultivation and can be grown in pots indoors year-round with the help of some plant lighting).
