Watercress is so nutritious it is what as known as a classic example of “food as medicine.” It is considered one of the healthiest greens available. It is in first place with kale and way ahead of blueberries, broccoli, or spinach. Watercress contains your complete daily requirement of vitamin K and is loaded with other vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that your body needs to promote heart health, prevent diabetes, build bones, support healthy thyroid function, enhance your immune system, and prevent and counter the effects of chronic diseases. Not your average leafy green or vegetable!
