Description/Taste

Seasons/Availability
Hydroponic Watercress is available year-round.
Current Facts
Cress is a general name that groups a class of sharply flavored greens that are used in salads and as potherbs. Watercress, meaning "nose twister", scientific name Nasturtium officinale, is a member of the Cruciferea, along with cabbages, kales and mustards. It is a cool season aquatic and semi-aquatic perennial herb, though, much like arugula, it is used primarily as a lettuce green.
Geography/History
Watercress is native to Europe and Asia, with documentation of its existence dating back to 3,000 years ago to the Phoenicians, Ancient Greece and Portugal. It was cultivated from a wild plant in Europe in 100 A.D. Hydroponic Watercress is grown utilizing a super climate controlled greenhouse environment. Nutrients are slow-fed into the plants, free of chemiclas and pesticides. Technology drives the consistency of the growth and flavor of the plant.
