Wonderful Wild Watercress is a Peppery Pleasure

The first time I tasted watercress it was growing wild in a stream at a friends farm and I've been in love with it ever since. It's one of the oldest known leaf vegetables consumed by humans and one cup is just 4 calories. Organic, living watercress can be found at your local grocer or farmers market. It's perfect for salads, sandwiches, stir-fry, used as a garnish or as a nice table decoration. I like to use watercress the day I bring it home for its optimum freshness. Just about everything goes with watercress, so add in a few of your favorites and enjoy.

Another option is to keep it growing. There are lots of tips online.
