Did you know that this vegetable, sometimes called Chinese watercress, is made up of 95% water? A rapidly growing aquatic plant species, watercress is native to Europe but can be found in fresh water streams and select farms throughout Hawai‘i. We love its fresh and peppery flavor that can easily stand up against other strong tastes. This versatile ingredient can be eaten raw, sautéed as a side dish or made into a savory soup — it’s even divine as a salad dressing!
