Eat Your Vegetables
Watercress is a vegetable, and if there’s one thing conventional wisdom got right, it’s that vegetables are very good for you.
A Nutrient-Dense Food
Watercress is a leafy vegetable with most of the nutrients we usually find in leafy vegetables: vitamins A, C, E, K, and various B vitamins, as well as iodine, iron, calcium, magnesium, and zinc. All of these nutrients are essential to our health and too many people don’t get enough of them.
