You wouldn’t guess so from looking at it, but watercress is one of the most nutritious vegetables out there. Watercress is native to Europe and Asia, and it grows in areas surrounding slow-moving water such as lakes and ponds. We can often find watercress in salads and soups, and the leaves add a lot of flavor.

This leafy vegetable has a kind of peppery taste, and it’s refreshing due to its high (95%) water content. Surprisingly, 100g of watercress provides only 11 calories, and yet it’s still one of the most nutrient-rich vegetables;
