"Watercress is a culinary chameleon. Delicious raw in salads or quiches, it also works wonders atop eggs or as a flavor boost to virtually any dish or sauce. For a change, try it sautéed, fried, blended into a velvety soup, or in a hearty winter stew. It’s not just versatile in preparation but also packed with nutrients. Researchers highlight that a 100-gram portion of watercress scores a perfect 100 in nutrient density. That means it’s bursting with potassium, fiber, protein, calcium, iron, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, folate, zinc, and vitamins A, B6, B12, C, D, E, and K. To put it in perspective, watercress contains more vitamin C than an orange or a lemon."

Pity that they couldn't have found a picture of watercress though. It is also high in quercetin, a mast-cell stabiliser and natural anti-histamine. I eat heaps of the stuff, love it. Just wish they didn't so often sell packs with spinach in with it, which I can't tolerate at all (high histamine).
