Did you know? Watercress is a wonderful vegetable full of vitamins A, C and E, and is very high in iron and folic acid. It’s a bit time-consuming to handle, as you need to pick off the sprigs, then wash and dry them carefully. We think it’s worth the effort, but you can use spinach leaves instead, if you like.
