Leading dietitian and nutritionist Lyndel Costain says: 'With all the concern about what's in processed foods and choosing a healthy diet, don't forget that some foods still provide simple, tasty and convenient goodness for the whole family. Watercress is one great example. With its high level of nutrients and protective compounds it's a true superfood and an ideal item for health conscious shopping baskets.’

She is a past spokesperson for the British Dietetic Association and sits on a number of weight management advisory boards.
