Sue's Tips:
When shopping for watercress, look for dark green leaves on crisp stems. Store in the refrigerator and use within a few days. Watercress purchased with roots attached will last longer in the refrigerator than just the leaves.
Did you know watercress is related to nasturtiums? Both edible and both peppery and delicious.
Watercress is an excellent source of antioxidants, calcium and vitamin C.
