Watercress

Nasturtium officinale

The ultimate superfood. 

Few leafy vegetables can hold as many good qualities as watercress! Watercress is full of vitamins, iron and calcium. It grows quickly and produces abundant harvests. In addition to the leaves and stems, the aerial roots of watercress can be used, if any happen to appear. 

Watercress has a peppery, fresh and slightly mustard-like flavour. That is why watercress is cultivated not only for salads, but as a spice, too. If you like rocket, you will definitely love watercress!
