Organic Cress Seeds

Organic Cress seeds for sprouting

Cress (Lepidium Sativum) belongs to the same family as cabbage, turnip and radish: the crucifers. The word "cress" comes from the Old French "kresso", meaning "creeping". Usually eaten as leaves, in salads, soups or pestos, try it as sprouted seeds!

🌱 Cress has a pronounced, peppery flavour. It adds a touch of character to your salads, dishes, sandwiches and green juices.

Soaking: 1 hour

Sprouting: 3 to 7 days

It is very easy to grow in theEasygreen Light or in theEasygreen Sol.

> However, these are mucilaginous seeds; they cannot sprout directly on a flat, sealed surface. They need a substrate, and cannot sprout properly without a sprouting support that stabilises the gel they produce.

🌱 Biovie has developed small cellulose mats for sprouting, specifically designed for sprouting mucilaginous seeds in the automatic Easygreen Lightsprouter. These mats can also be used in a suitable rectangular container.
