Did you know that watercress is an incredibly nutritious vegetable that boasts more iron than spinach and a higher vitamin C content than lemons or oranges?
In addition to its impressive nutritional profile, watercress is packed with other beneficial compounds and offers a wide range of positive and healing effects on the human body.
However, despite its exceptional qualities, watercress was largely forgotten for generations. Originally hailing from Eurasia, it has now spread to nearly every corner of the globe.
The good news is that you can easily cultivate watercress on your windowsill in just 3 to 6 days. The brighter the spot you choose for it, the quicker it will flourish.
Growing watercress is a straightforward and speedy process. Simply place some cotton wool in a shallow dish, moisten it, and sprinkle it with small watercress seeds. Be sure to keep the cotton wool adequately moist to prevent it from drying out, as this can cause your watercress to turn yellow, become fragile, or even perish. You can harvest the crop and use it as a sandwich topping or add it to salads. Watercress has a slightly bitter, peppery flavor, with an aroma that occasionally resembles the depth of cabbage.
