Fresh Watercress

Add the bold, peppery taste of fresh watercress to your meals with our traditionally farmed crop, grown in mineral-rich spring water on our farms in Dorset, Hampshire and Spain. Our watercress (from our sister company, The Watercress Company) is picked at its peak and packed unwashed to preserve its natural shelf life.

Browse our selection below and buy fresh watercress now!

Please note: Due to the fragile nature of watercress and the necessity to keep it cold, it is only dispatched Monday to Thursday to avoid spoiling if not delivered over the weekend. If delivery for Saturday is urgent, and ordering before 11am Friday, select Royal Mail Special Delivery at checkout.

About watercress

With a proud heritage dating back to Victorian times, watercress was once a staple of the British diet, picked fresh each morning and sold in bunches to city workers on their way to factories and offices. It was nutritious, affordable, and quick to eat on the go – we like to think it may have been one of the first (and certainly healthiest) fast foods!

Watercress is one of the most nutritious leafy greens you can eat. Grown in flowing spring water and packed with isothiocyanates (the compounds that give it that distinctive peppery hit), it’s also rich in vitamins C, A and K. Trim it into a salad, stir it into a soup, blend it into a smoothie, whizz it into pesto, have it in a sandwich… We really do think that watercress is underrated.

Our farms use traditional growing techniques so that each leaf is bursting with flavour. Find out just how much flavour and order now!

Frequently asked questions

Where is your watercress grown?

Our watercress is grown across three farm sites: Dorset, Hampshire and Spain. Each location uses pure, mineral-rich spring water and traditional methods that date back generations. Because it’s harvested by hand, the flavour is full-bodied and seasonal, just as nature intended.

Why is the watercress unwashed?

We leave our watercress unwashed to give you maximum freshness and shelf life. Once watercress is washed, it begins to deteriorate more quickly. By keeping it dry and chilled, it stays crisp and lively for much longer. All you have to do is rinse it at home before eating. It’s the same approach that helps top restaurants keep their greens fresh!

How should I store watercress?

Store watercress in the fridge, ideally in its original bag, sealed tightly and kept cold. If the leaves start to droop, a quick rinse in cold water will help refresh them. Because it’s a delicate crop, we only dispatch from Monday to Thursday to avoid weekend delays. For urgent Saturday delivery, order before 11am on Friday and choose Royal Mail Special Delivery at checkout.

How do I use watercress in cooking?

Watercress is versatile and packed with flavour. Use it fresh in salads, stir it into pasta sauces or soups for a slight peppery kick, or blend it into smoothies and pestos. It also makes a fantastic garnish.
