Watercress -The Nose Twister<br />
by: Coy Domecq<br />
The watercress (Nasturtium officinale) is found throughout<br />
the United States growing in shallow moving fresh<br />
water. The aquatic watercress was introduced to the<br />
US from Europe and Asia. Before we get too far, please<br />
do not be misled by the genus category of this plant<br />
with the land-based flower by the same common name<br />
nasturtium. The flower was named after the aquatic plant<br />
because of the similarity in botanical oils both plants<br />
produce.<br />
Watercress has the distinction of being one of the oldest<br />
known leaf vegetables consumed by humans. It was a<br />
staple food for Roman soldiers and Hippocrates, known<br />
as the father of medicine, used the plant to treat patients<br />
for a range of medical conditions.<br />

$34.95 for a regular oil change<br />
The nutritional benefits of watercress are significant and<br />
many. It is a member of the cruciferous family that enjoys<br />
such better-known healthful members as cabbage, broccoli<br />
and kale. One cup of watercress contains more than<br />
one hundred percent of the USRDA of vitamin K. The<br />
plant is superior to spinach for dietary iron it provides. It is<br />
noteworthy for the levels of vitamins A and C it contains,<br />
the beneficial effect of lowering blood pressure, and it<br />
demonstrates a positive role of minimizing the side effects<br />
of cancer treatments.<br />
Uncooked watercress has a distinct peppery taste that<br />
adds culinary interest to salads and soups as a garnish.<br />
Roughly translated, nasturtium means “nose twister”. It<br />
once enjoyed great favor as part of the working person’s<br />
diet and then migrated to the tea party crowd in the form<br />
of watercress sandwiches. When cooked, it is a versatile<br />
ingredient that is featured in soup, pesto, pizza, deviled<br />
eggs, and as a lettuce substitute in BLTs or your favorite<br />
wrap.<br />
“Desperation is the raw<br />
material of drastic change.<br />
Only those who can leave<br />
behind everything they<br />
have ever believed in can<br />
hope to escape. ”<br />
― William S. Burroughs<br />
