Hi, does anyone know where I can buy watercress?

A long while ago, I  used to be able to buy it in Mercadona but they stopped selling it.

Many thanks.

We usually get it at Consum, but I understand it may be sold seasonally as a lot is exported in winter.

Apparently it's not very popular with the Spanish?

You can grow it, i am in the process of growing it in a plastic container with a solar pump to circulate the water and feeding the plants with Hydrophonic plant feed, i use fishtank gravel as it has been disinfected. its in a trial and error mode now. use the stalks of the watercress thats not used , it has little roots.
