Garden cress is a fast-growing eatable herb that is related to watercress and mustard, sharing their peppery taste and aroma. Garden cress is usually grown in England, France, the Netherlands and Scandinavia.[1]
Cookery |
Garden Cress is added to soups, sandwiches and salads for its tangy taste.[2] It is also eaten as sprouts, and the fresh or dried seed pods can be used as a peppery seasoning.[2] In England, cut cress shoots are used in sandwiches with boiled eggs, mayonnaise and salt.
