Hollandia Produce is driving the growth of one of the newest trends in culinary greens today: Watercress.
This produce category is gaining popularity due to a variety of factors, all seemingly converging at once. Some of these factors include a growing awareness of it as a nutritional superfood powerhouse, a national focus on increasing consumption of veggies and fruits, and an aging population seeking more healthful ways to enhance longevity and health. In addition, a continuing culinary trend on foraged foods and international flavors has bode well for watercress growth.
Watercress offers a peppery-flavor profile that makes it an ideal ingredient for a wide variety of recipes that encompass entrees, sandwiches, salads, sides, soups, smoothies, even cocktails.
All of Hollandia’s products are grown indoors in its hydroponic greenhouses in California.
