Watercress (Latin Lepidium sativum) or also called watercress or wetland, because it grows near springs, is a fast-growing annual garden plant of the cruciferous family. Apart from being an herb, some experts also qualify it as a leafy vegetable, as in Southern Europe and the Middle East it is widely used as an addition to salads because of its juicy leaves, whose aroma resembles that of horseradish.
Watercress leaves are rich in vitamins B, C, carotene, rutin, calcium salts, magnesium, iron, iodine and phosphorus.
Consumption of just one serving a day of the green plant is enough to increase the molecules that fight cancer cells in the blood within an hour and can prevent the development of the disease.
Watercress can prevent the recurrence of cancer in patients with breast cancer, say researchers from the University of Southampton.
The results of a study conducted among volunteers who consumed 80 grams of the green plant daily showed a significant improvement in their health.
