This perennial plant from the family of crucifers, also known as Nasturtium officinale, is characterized by its small, dark green leaves, delicate white flowers, and its strong, spicy flavor. But it's not just our taste buds that are thrilled – scientists are impressed as well. Why? Because it is officially considered the healthiest vegetable in the world. 🌍

Why is watercress so nutrient-rich? Studies show that this small but powerful green contains more nutrients than any other vegetable. It is rich in vitamin C, which strengthens the immune system and prevents cell damage, as well as vitamin K, which plays an important role in bone health. 🤩 Furthermore, watercress is full of strong antioxidants, which protect the body from harmful free radicals, as well as glucosinolates, which are associated with cancer prevention. Additionally, it is an excellent source of iron, calcium and magnesium – essential nutrients for energy metabolism and muscle function. ✨ And thanks to its high fiber content, it promotes digestion and provides lasting satiety. This nutrient profile speaks for itself – a true superfood. 🌱
