Cress Microgreens

Peppery, tangy, and bold. One of the oldest superfoods known to humanity, now in micro form.
"What if the same superfood that fueled ancient civilizations could be on your plate tomorrow morning?"
Why Cress Microgreens? 🌿
Cress is not some trendy newcomer. It has been cultivated for thousands of years across Persia, Greece, and Rome. Hippocrates himself reportedly used it as medicine. When something has been a superfood for that long, maybe it is worth paying attention to.
The flavor is bold and unapologetic - peppery, tangy, with a watercress-like bite that cuts through rich, creamy, and fatty foods. This is the microgreen that makes egg dishes, soups, and sandwiches come alive. Are you still using plain lettuce?
Nutritionally, cress microgreens punch far above their weight. Loaded with Vitamin K for bones, Vitamin C for immunity, iron for healthy blood, and antioxidants that fight oxidative stress at the cellular level.

From Seed to Your Table 🌱

Tiny cress seeds sown densely in living soil with very light pressure. No soaking - cress is mucilaginous. Misted frequently.
Days 2-3. Dome Removed
Cress is positive photoblastic and prefers some light even early on. Delicate shoots emerge fast, building that signature peppery flavor.
