What it is

Watercress is a leafy green aquatic plant with a peppery flavor. It grows in cool, clear water and is cultivated in many parts of the world. It is typically harvested and used fresh, or sometimes lightly processed for juices and other food products.

Why it's used

Watercress is used as a fresh ingredient in salads, sandwiches, and as a garnish. In processed foods, it is often included for its fresh, slightly bitter flavor and its nutrient content, appearing in juices and vegetable blends.

Health notes

Watercress is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamins and minerals. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated watercress, though they did not set a numeric acceptable daily intake. Research has explored potential health benefits, but more studies are needed to confirm these effects.

Allergen info
