Harvest often by pinching leaves or trimming stems above growth nodes. Leave a third of the plant for ongoing production.
Native to Europe and Asia, the ancient Romans referred to Watercress as “nasturtium”, which means “twisted nose”, in a nod to the plant’s slightly peppery flavor which can grow more bitter in maturity. In warm climates, Watercress grows wild in bodies of fresh running water, with the leaves floating on the surface while the roots anchor it below.
For the most nutrients, enjoy Watercress raw or lightly steamed. Add it to salads, sandwiches, eggs, or as a garnish to soups, stews, and more.
