Minari (Korean watercress)
Minari (Korean watercress) is a mild, aromatic leafy herb used widely in Korean and other East Asian cuisines — often added to soups, stews, salads and banchan for a fresh, slightly peppery flavor. It grows in shallow water and is known for its crisp stems and bright green leaves. Low in calories and high in micronutrients, Minari (Korean watercress) is especially notable for its vitamin K content (250µg per 100g), and it also provides vitamin C and dietary fiber while contributing a small amount of plant protein. Its light texture makes it a versatile garnish or cooked green that brightens many dishes. Overall, Minari (Korean watercress) is a nutrient-dense leafy green that supports bone and blood health (via vitamin K), adds fiber to the diet, and works well in both raw and cooked preparations without adding much energy.
