🌱 Watercress enjoys a long and storied history, with ancient origins, a variety of uses, and evidence of its use dating back three millennia to the Persians, Greeks, and Romans. ⏳

🌱 Up until the Renaissance, this spunky salad green was used as a breath freshener and palate cleanser, as well as for medicinal purposes.

🌱 These silly greens love a good pairing too, with their fancy cocktails and FMC tales that last all night! 😵‍💫🍹
