You can get so many health benefits when you make a delicious watercress recipe , because watercress is packed with all kinds of nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin B1, zinc, iron and more. According to legend, the Greek physician and pharmacologist Dioscorides described the leaf as a digestive and "good for ye belly", while the ancient Greeks called watercress ‘kardamom', believing that it could increase intellect. This led to the proverb "eat watercress and get wit".
