Fresh is definitely better. I believe the freezing process can take out some of the nutrients. However, if all you have is frozen, it'll work.

Try to stick with fresh everything, frozen is for emergencies.

Watercress is fine but you still need to try to locate the other greens
I agree, fresh is better. However if you are limited to frozen you want to sprinkle some vitamin B1 on the food. Freezing can destroy the B1(thiamin)
