About

Glorious, peppery organic watercress, grown in gravel beds and fed by spring water. These freshly picked leaves add vibrant crunch to a salad or sandwich, and they’re a good garnish for strong meat and fish. To fall in love with it entirely, blend watercress with mayonnaise and a touch of mustard and eat with poached salmon or chicken and buttery new potatoes.

Storage

Delivered from our farm, so wash before cooking. Best kept in the fridge and eaten within a couple of days.

Class

Our watercress is sold as class 2. This means that they might not look cosmetically perfect, but they are grown for the very best flavour. (We have to tell you this to satisfy some EU rules).
