Description
Watercress microgreens have a bold, peppery flavor that is slightly tangy and reminiscent of mature watercress, but more concentrated due to their young, tender stage. Their crisp texture and zesty bite make them a flavorful addition to salads, sandwiches, and garnishes. Nutritionally, watercress microgreens are a powerhouse, packed with vitamins A, C, and K, as well as antioxidants, calcium, iron, and folate. They are especially known for their high levels of glucosinolates, compounds linked to anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. Low in calories but dense in nutrients, they offer a vibrant, health-boosting punch in a small package.
