Product Details
Watercress is an inexhaustible source of health and vitality, a true nutritional treasure that is grown following ecological methods, thus guaranteeing its maximum purity and benefits:
- It is exceptionally rich in vitamins C and K, as well as antioxidants, which are essential for strengthening the immune system, promoting bone health and protecting cells against free radical damage.
- Additionally, watercress contains significant amounts of iron, calcium and folic acid, key nutrients for maintaining good blood circulation, radiant skin and optimal brain function.
- Its high fiber content contributes to digestive health
- While its low calorie profile makes it a perfect ally for weight loss and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Season calendar
In Tenerife, thanks to its mild and temperate climate all year round, watercress can be grown and harvested at different times, allowing for wider availability than in more extreme climates. However, even in Tenerife, there are times when the watercress is at its optimal growth and flavor point.
- High season: The optimal season for watercress in Tenerife runs from autumn to spring, that is, from October to May. During these months, weather conditions are ideal for growing watercress, with cooler temperatures and adequate humidity levels that favor its development.
- Availability throughout the year: Although the high season offers the best quality and flavor watercress, in Tenerife, thanks to its climate, it is possible to find fresh watercress all year round in local markets and stores specializing in agricultural products.
Selection tips
When choosing fresh watercress, look for deep green leaves that are firm and crisp, with no yellow or wilted spots, which indicate freshness and quality.
Avoid those with thick stems or a slimy appearance, a sign that they are stale.
If you buy packaged watercress, make sure there is no excessive condensation or signs of deterioration inside the package. Stored in the refrigerator, in an open bag to allow air circulation, watercress will stay fresh for several days. Wash them only before use to avoid excessive moisture that can accelerate deterioration.
Conservation
To keep fresh watercress at home and maximize its shelf life, follow these simple steps:
- Do not wash them immediately: Avoid washing watercress right after purchasing it, as moisture can promote the growth of bacteria and fungi. Wash them only before consuming them.
- Wrap them in kitchen paper: Use kitchen paper to gently wrap the watercress. This will help absorb excess moisture, keeping them dry and cool.
- Store them in the refrigerator: Place the paper-wrapped watercress inside a perforated plastic bag or open container to allow good air circulation. Store them in the vegetable drawer of the refrigerator.
- Use a container of water for short-term storage: If you plan to consume the watercress within a day or two, another option is to place the stems in a glass of water, as you would a bouquet of flowers, and store them in the refrigerator. Cover the leaves with a plastic bag and change the water daily.

Gara M. (From La Matanza) -
There's nothing like a good bunch of fresh watercress to make you feel like you're truly taking care of yourself. The ones from Sanus Market are spectacular: they have that intense green color and the mild, characteristic peppery taste that only high-quality, freshly cut watercress has.
