At Food Matters Live 2019 in London, UK, The Watercress Company was highlighting the nutritious nature of watercress. Key to its health halo is the high level of antioxidants – which can prevent cell damage – and iron. This means it has strong potential for the sports nutrition space, say Managing Director Tom Amery and Dr. Lucy Williamson. Real foods are increasingly gaining traction in the sports nutrition space, as consumers lose interest in processed gels and supplements, they add. Watercress could be used to boost sports drinks and further NPD.
