Watercress has a delicious, pungent, peppery taste and is a good alternative to lettuce in a salad bowl or on a sandwich. This delicate plant originated from Europe and Asia and is considered one of the oldest known leaf vegetables that has been eaten by people. It is rich in iron, minerals and vitamin C. It is highly recommended to clean blood and clean the skin. Some health enthusiasts recommend watercress also for blood diseases. Watercress has more iron than spinach, more calcium than milk and three times as much Vitamin E as lettuce. It’s packed with vitamins A and C, and is low in calories. Eating a bag of watercress is said to be a good cure for a hang-over.
