Well valentines day was the other day and if you didn’t have that special someone may i make a suggestion? How about watercress? A real looker and will make you feel good oh so good.
If you decide to date watercress you wouldn’t be first. Believe it or not there is a big watercress fan base out there, check it out everything and anything you ever wanted to know about Watercress.
Last week i tried watercress for the first time and these two properties were what drew me in:
1. Help Relief of Menstrual Cramps
2. Improve vision and help eye infections
I had both these symptoms last week. Happy to say the Watercress did the trick!
I had very mild cramps and then none by the end of the week! Also my eye has healed yay!
SUPER VEGGIE
Watercress has more calcium than milk, more vitamin C than an orange and more absorbable Iron than Spinach (woah hello you super veggie you :))
EAT IT or DRINK IT!
Favorite ways to eat the watercress.
* On a salad – great texture and little added flavor
* Stews, soups, stir-frys. But make sure to add it just before serving you should never cook watercress.
* Juice it – cut with some lemon and carrot
