Watercress is our new crop. Several customers were asking for it so thanks to them, we decided to give it a go. We have enjoyed it very much in our sandwiches. The peppery taste is very slight when combined with all of the fixings. We love the crunch and freshness that it brings to the sandwich.
Watercress goes well mixed in salads. Like Arugula, it gives some bites a bit of a punch. We have also tried Watercress Soup, a potato based soup. It is delicious and on a hot summer day, we liked it best chilled.
Watercress is known to be one of the Superfoods, ranked right up with Kale. We grow two varieties. The one above is the traditional variety that is most familiar. The following picture (taken from www.amazon.com) is the other variety we grow. It is not for the faint of heart! Its peppery taste lingers in your mouth.
