Garden cress – Seeds for sprouts and Microgreens

An inconspicuous plant whose strength and benefits will amaze you. That is how cress can simply be described. It is incredibly easy and quick to grow, allowing you to enjoy a fresh dose of vitamins and minerals with a characteristic, slightly spicy taste at any time of the year.

Natural support for your health

Cress is a true treasure for the human body. Its regular consumption brings a number of benefits:

• Strengthening immunity: It is a rich source of vitamins C, A, K, E and the B group (B1, B3), which contribute to the overall defence of the body.
• Anti-inflammatory effects: It is traditionally used for its positive effects in problems with the bladder, kidneys and respiratory tract.
• Source of minerals: It contains important minerals such as calcium, sodium and iron.
• Support for digestion: It stimulates the activity of the gallbladder and liver, thereby helping proper digestion. It is therefore an ideal addition to fattier and harder-to-digest dishes.

Easy growing for everyone

Even a complete beginner can grow their own cress. A great advantage is that the seeds do not need to be soaked in advance, which significantly simplifies and speeds up the whole process.

Sprouting procedure:

1. Spread the seeds in a sprouting tray or on a tray with cotton wool.
2. Keep the container at room temperature (around 20 °C) and do not expose it to direct sunlight.
3. Rinse the seeds with clean water at least twice a day. During the day, you can also mist them several times so they do not dry out.
4. Within 4 to 6 days you will have fresh sprouts ready for harvest and consumption.

You can grow cress not only as sprouts, but also in the traditional way in a pot with substrate. Here too, it is essential to keep the soil slightly moist at all times and mist it regularly.

Storage and use

Before consumption, rinse the finished sprouts with water. You can add them to salads, sandwiches, spreads or any other dish. If you do not use them immediately, they can be stored for several days in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
