Vitamins in a Small Leaf

A beautiful bouquet of watercress from my neighbour's jardin. Lovely looking, but food is not to be wasted. My neighbour suggested using it in stir fry. Why not, I thought.

As I was washing the leaves, Wikipedia was telling its amazing nutritional values - lots of iron, iodine, calcium and vitamins A & C. 

It has so much vitamin C that it was used to treat scurvy.

The base for the stir fry included more goodness with hot chili, gingers, green onions and garlic.

Fried with sesame oil filled the kitchen with beautiful aromas. 

Pork slices, vegetables, noodles and a colourful looking stir fry was ready.

Topped with the beautiful healthy watercress leaves made for a yummy cold-killing dinner in front of the fireplace.

 

Thank you neighbour.
