BIO Cress - Crisp snack leaves from seed - Fresh Seeds

BIO cress (Lepidium sativum) is an easy annual plant with a strong, lightly peppery taste and a reputation for valuable nutrients. Its fresh, juicy leaves add flavour to everyday meals and are a simple way to bring more variety to salads, sandwiches, and many other dishes. It grows very quickly and you can start cutting the first leaves after only a few days, without needing special conditions. You can buy the seed packs at GardenSeedsMarket.

Sowing depth

Cress is most often grown in a shallow dish lined with kitchen paper or cotton wool, which should be moistened evenly. Spread the seeds over the surface and press them down gently, without covering them with soil. In these conditions they germinate fast and after 2-3 days form a dense green layer of young leaves.

Sowing under cover

Cress can be sown all year round. You can sow indoors from January to December, regardless of the weather, as long as the seeds have a little warmth and light. This makes it a practical choice if you want a steady source of fresh greens throughout the year.

Harvest time

You can grow and harvest cress at any time of year. The first young leaves are usually ready to cut 6-8 days after sowing. After harvesting, sow again to keep a regular supply of fresh greens.

Growing

Growing cress is simple and does not require a garden or special tools. It is usually sown in a flat dish lined with kitchen paper or cotton wool and kept consistently moist. It grows well on a bright windowsill or in the kitchen, where it has warmth and steady humidity. It can also be grown in the ground, although this is less common. In outdoor conditions it performs best in a lightly shaded spot with consistently moist soil. The seedlings have a distinctive flavour that works well in salads, sandwiches, and other dishes.
