I think so but as it's a wet vegetable like lettuce only very tiny amounts.

www.watercress.co.uk/It's a green leaf plant used in salads and as a garnish. As it's name says it grows in water and has a slightly peppery taste.

You can buy it sometimes in the produce section by the salad stuff. I've even seen it growing in parks around here.
