Yesterday, I found this website: http://www.watercress.co.uk/home/ about watercress and I think it's neat-o! I love the leafy green vegetable, watercress, for some reason and apparently they grow hoards of it in England. Although, when I buy it at the supermarket here the leaves don't look as big as they do in the pictures on this site.
They even have a watercress festival every year - in England - can you believe it? Here in the states there is practically a festival for every fruit you can imagine, but there are not too many spinach or kale festivals I am aware of. Anyway, apparently watercress has more calcium than milk, and more vitamin C than an Orange. It was eaten almost at every meal in Napoleon's estate and during the Victorian Ages it was sold in bunches like a giant green cotton candy out of vendors on the street - supposedly one of the first "foods on the go". Perhaps I should have made my bridal bouquet out of it - hehe.
Where can I get the good stuff??
I bookmark way too many websites - I think this blog is a great way to weed out the really good ones from the maybes.
