One of the great things about watercress nowadays is that it’s sold in convenient, pre-washed salad bags either on its own or teamed with other tasty salad leaves. Within hours of harvesting the plant is chilled, rinsed and packed into “washed and ready to eat” bags which are then loaded onto refrigerated lorries to be delivered in peak condition to the supermarket so you can be sure that the watercress you are purchasing is as fresh as possible. You will find it in the chiller cabinet of most major supermarkets.

Organic watercress is available at Tesco, Sainsbury, Waitrose and M & S.
