Watercress is being named as the healthiest vegetable anywhere. The CDC recently released a list ranking 41 “powerhouse” fruits and vegetables, and members of the cabbage family topped it. According to the CDC, watercress earned a perfect score of 100, “because of its dense profile of vitmanis, minerals, and antioxidants in a low-calorie package”. Chinese cabbage and chard come in second and third respectively, while sweet potato was ranked the least-healthy veggie on the list.
