Who would think something as small as watercress could be so important? According to an article in the year-end edition of the Saturday Evening Post 2023, watercress is a superfood. In a study published by the CDC, watercress is officially the healthiest vegetable in the world! Researchers at William Patterson University analyzed 57 fruits and vegetables and ranked them on a 100-point scale. The ranking is based on their nutrient density. Watercress was the only veggie to earn a perfect score. Watercress was followed by Chinese cabbage, Swiss Chard, beet greens and spinach. All those foods listed made it on the CDC's list of powerhouse foods. How many of these foods are in your daily diet? Maybe once a week, or how about once a month? I think most of us would need to add them. Thank God I love spinach, last on the list and I do like Chinese cabbage. The article went on to say watercress is incredibly versatile and can be added to salads, sandwiches, soups, smoothies and more. So, no excuses, start working this powerhouse veggie to your life, for your health's sake, of course.
