Wild Red Watercress

Mother Nature's never-ending evolution has revealed a new, colorful and more flavorful variety of watercress…"Wild Red" watercress from B&W Quality Growers.

As the name implies, this new variety was discovered growing wild in tropical wetlands, where it’s natural purplish-red hues stood in sharp contrast to traditional ‘green watercress’.

This special variety was captured, domesticated and is now offered in limited availability for food service and culinary customers. B&W Quality Growers has applied for a patent for this unique and proprietary variety.

Only available from B&W’s Florida farms between November and April, this strikingly colorful strain has become an instant hit with chefs around the country. Reddish-hued vegetables are increasingly being associated with enhanced cancer-fighting properties, something regular watercress is already recognized for.

Wild Red watercress has a striking color , coupled with a slightly more intense peppery bite that has a pronounced and positive flavor impact when added to a salad, sandwich or entrée’.

‘Wild Red’ watercress is available from November through April in both food service cello (1.5 lbs) and 12-ct traditional bunch packs. All are double washed, air-tunnel dried, and monitored by B&W’s comprehensive food safety and HAACP protocols and oversight.
