How to properly grow

Cress doesn't require special growing conditions and can be grown at home. Here are the main points to consider:

substrate - a special mixture for microgreens, coconut fiber, perlite, vermiculite, fabric, paper, or even hydroponics;
temperature - in the range of 18 - 25 °C, without drafts;
light - sufficient for photosynthesis and development of green mass, optimally 12-16 hours a day;
watering - if necessary, to keep the substrate slightly moist.

Cress has the highest concentration of nutrients and flavors 7-10 days after sowing, when the sprouts reach a height of 10-15 cm and have 2-4 true leaves. Use immediately after cutting or store in the refrigerator in an hermetically sealed package for no more than 3-5 days.

Using microgreens

Cress sprouts are a versatile and tasty addition to the food supply, enhancing and decorating any dish. They are well suited for salads, combined with other types of greens, vegetables, cheese, meat, and fish. Cress microgreens have a light crunch, add spice and tenderness to dishes, and enrich them with vitamins and minerals.
