A Leafy Superfood Worth Learning About
(firmenpresse) - MISSION, KS -- (Marketwired) -- 12/16/15 -- (Family Features) For people who manage their health through nutrition or use food as a medicinal replacement, few products offer the power of "superfoods." Kale is one leafy green commonly recognized as a superfood, but watercress is a tastier superfood option worth considering.
Watercress has more flavor, is more versatile and is healthier than its leafy cousins. It''s also easier to digest with a more pleasing texture. In fact, according to an independent research study published last spring by the Centers for Disease Control, it is the most nutrient-dense food available today.
For a high concentration of phytonutrients, antioxidants and vitamins, look to options such as those available through hydroponic greenhouse grower Hollandia Produce, which raises two cress varieties: Live Gourmet Living Upland Cress and Grower Pete''s Living Organic Watercress. Both varieties also deliver up to twice the vitamin C of an orange; more calcium than milk; and high levels of magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, iron, beta-carotene and vitamins A, B1, B6, K and E.
Watercress also has multiple uses as a medicinal herb. Some of these more popular applications include preventing eczema, as well as supporting digestive, urinary tract, eye and respiratory health.

In blender or food processor, combine cress and garlic and pulse until coarsely chopped.
Add remaining ingredients and process until blended.
Drizzle over pasta, risotto, fish, meat or eggs, or use as a spread.
In small bowl, whisk together vinaigrette ingredients and set aside.
Prepare and artfully arrange cress and all ingredients, except eggs, on serving plate and set aside.
Soft boil eggs 5 minutes in 1 quart of water. Remove from heat and cool 30 seconds under cold running water. Gently remove shells. While still warm, slice eggs in half and place atop the plated salad. Lightly drizzle with Orange Vinaigrette.
