Description
Organic Cress
The organic seeds of Cress, botanical name Lepidium sativum, grow fast and require no special attention. Thus, in just a few days, they will give birth to sprouts that are as small as they are tasty, thanks to their fresh and pleasantly pungent flavour.
How can I grow it?
Producing organic Cress sprouts is quick and easy, even at home.
This variety has a mucilaginous seed: this means that, when it comes into contact with water, it develops a mucous membrane around it to ensure proper and constant moisture throughout germination. Therefore, we advise you to avoid soaking and start directly with a not-too-long rinse. By storing the seeds in the dark and continuing to spray them regularly, you can consume your organic Cress sprouts in less than a week.
How can I eat it?
Tender and thin, organic cress sprouts are a perfect addition to add colour and flavour to your dishes. Try them in classic salads, or experiment by adding them as a garnish to bruschetta, carpaccio or soups.
Organic Cress seeds may contain traces of soy, mustard, wheat, gluten and grasses.
Store seeds in a cool and ventilated place, with temperature between 8° and 20° C, away from weather, humidity changes and sunlight.
