Watercress Herb

What is watercress herb? Native to Eurasia, watercress (Nasturtium officinale) is a perennial aquatic plant that is a member of the mustard family (Brassicaceae) and has spread across North America. In chilly, running streams, watercress grows submerged, floating on the water's surface, or sprawled over muddy surfaces. It is often grown in tanks or damp soil because of its vitamin C-rich, delicious young shoots and delicate, peppery-flavored leaves. Watercress and the decorative nasturtium (genus Tropaeolum) in gardens are not closely related. Watercress plants readily root from their stems and often create bushy colonies. Pinnately complex, the alternating leaves have three to nine leaflets. The plant yields compact clusters of small, four-petaled white blooms; each seedpod, known as a silique, carries two rows of seeds. How to Use Watercress Herb: Tossing watercress into a salad is the easiest method to prepare it, and it also lets its peppery green taste show through the most. It may be mixed with other greens and vegetables or served on its own with a mild dressing. In any case, if you're eating it raw, be careful to cut off the thickest stems. Watercress herb benefits :…
