Let's say that the food runs out post SHTF. We all have food reserves, but we also have a good month of 'hungered' survival left with which to find food, plant fast growing crops, and stuff like that. Watercress grows fast, and although it's not a super high calorie food, it could provide the final pump of nutrition to get you through until those kidney beans start to show pods, and those peas bud up.
Gives you a marker on how long to out live non preppers that may wish to do you harm
