Cress

Cress is a peppery leafy green from the mustard family often used as a salad green, garnish or sandwich topping in many cuisines; garden cress and watercress varieties are common and prized for their sharp, fresh flavor. It is very low in energy at 32kcal per 100g, making it an easy way to add volume and flavor without many calories. Nutritionally, Cress contributes vitamin C and vitamin K, some fiber and plant protein, and contains small amounts of omega‑3 fats. It also supplies glucosinolates and other phytonutrients associated with antioxidant and detoxifying activity, and is a nutrient‑dense choice to boost the micronutrient content of salads and sandwiches.
