Cress Common Seeds – Fast-Growing, Edible Herb with Tangy Flavour

Product Description

Cress Common (Lepidium sativum), also known as pepper cress, peppergrass, or poor man’s pepper, is a fast-growing edible herb from the mustard family. Known for its peppery, tangy aroma and taste, it’s a favourite addition to soups, sandwiches, salads, and garnishes. This versatile plant is packed with vitamins, minerals, and essential nutrients, making it a healthy choice for any kitchen garden.

Native to the Middle East and cultivated since around 400 BC, Cress Common has long been valued for its flavour and rapid growth. It can reach heights of up to 60 cm, producing multiple branched stems and lush green shoots. The young leaves, stems, and seed pods are all edible, offering a zesty kick to any dish.

Cress can be grown indoors or outdoors, and with minimal effort, it’s ready to harvest in just 2–3 weeks after sowing. Sprouting seeds can take as little as 10 days, providing a quick and rewarding gardening experience. In Britain, cress is famously paired with boiled eggs and mayonnaise in sandwiches — a classic favourite.

Each packet of Cress Common seeds comes with detailed growing instructions on the reverse, ensuring success from seed to sprout. The packaging design may vary, but the quality of the seeds remains consistently high, with all seeds individually inspected before packing.
