What are Watercress Greens?
Watercress greens, formally known as Nasturtium officinale, are a type of aquatic plant found in many parts of the world. A member of the mustard family, watercress greens have dark green crunchy leaves with a crisp mustard-like bite that adds a level of flavor to food whether used as a starring component or as a garnish. When harvested for food, watercress is collected before the delicate white flowers and green seed pods appear, because the leaves will grow woody and flavorless.
