Linnaeus named the genus \u003cem\u003eTropaeolum\u003c\/em\u003e, from the Greek word for trophy: the round leaves reminded him of shields, the flowers of helmets. As microgreens they keep that unmistakable shape — a smooth, round leaf on a slender stem, with the stalk attached right in the middle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flavour explains the common name. \u003cem\u003eNasturtium\u003c\/em\u003e is the Latin name for watercress, from \u003cem\u003enasus tortus\u003c\/em\u003e — “twisted nose” — and the plant earned it with a peppery bite, a light tang and a hint of horseradish. It is only a distant relative of cress, but both belong to the same botanical order and both make pungent mustard oils, which is why they taste so alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrowing it is straightforward: no soaking, 20 g of dry seed per 11×18 cm container and one golden rule — \u003cstrong\u003ecover the seeds\u003c\/strong\u003e. A thin layer of coco coir on top, or a firm press into a soft mat, gives even germination. In 8–10 days you can cut tall, tender greens, with roughly three grams of harvest from every gram of seed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gc-ns-highlights\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv
