Sourced nutrient profile in progress.
UCF publishes nutrients for each crop only with references behind them (USDA FoodData Central, NIH). Watercress’s snapshot appears here as soon as its sources are in place. Nothing is estimated to fill the space.
How it supports the body.
The Nutrient Atlas maps every crop to the body systems its nutrients contribute to. Watercress's connections appear here once its nutrient sources are published.
