 Watercress (Nasturii herba) is rich in iron, iodine, vitamins A, C and E, antioxidants and folate. Its a staple in the east, especially in Iran where for centuries its nutrition has been channeled in daily diet.
Watercress is full of eye protecting lutein and antioxidants. Watercress is an outstanding source of iodine -- important for protection against radiation and maintaining a healthy thyroid gland. Moreover, watercress is rich in vitamins A, B, C, D, E and K along with calcium, phosphorus, potassium, iron, copper, silica and zinc. Highly recommended.
