Watercress is a nutrient-rich, powerhouse green.

Personally, I overlooked watercress for a long time, but once I began experimenting with this peppery green, I quickly became a big fan.

In this 101-video, I cover everything you need to know about shopping, storing, preparing, and cooking watercress.  If you guys have any other questions that I may have missed just ask down in the comments below and I’ll do my best to help.

Also, if you have any favorite ways of preparing watercress, I would love to hear all about it!

    Hi Dani, You are grate. I love every thing you do. Your recipes are very very nice. I have a question for you. How do you remove pesticides from the produce if you can not afford ORGANIC?
    Thank you very much.
