Watercress

Seasonality: Year Round
Origin: USA

With crisp stems and tender leaves, this versatile green is prized by chefs for its signature bite and beautiful presentation.

Watercress isn’t just flavorful—it’s one of the healthiest greens you can eat. According to the CDC, it ranks as the most nutrient-dense vegetable, packing more essential nutrients per calorie than any other. It’s an excellent source of vitamin K and a good source of vitamins A and C, supporting bone health, immune function, and healthy skin.

Chop it into salads, blend it into pestos, or layer it on sandwiches for a bold upgrade. Melissa’s Watercress brings a fresh, slightly spicy kick to both raw and cooked dishes.

Rinse and dry before using. Store wrapped in a damp paper towel in a bag in the fridge; use within 2–3 days.
