What is Cress?
Cress microgreens are the young, peppery shoots of the cress plant, known for their zesty flavour and numerous health benefits. Despite their small size, they are packed with nutrients and antioxidants, making them a perfect addition to any nutrition-focused diet.
Cress is one of the 16 potent microgreens featured in our products. Each serving, just 1.5g, provides a highly concentrated source of nutrients, making it an easy and convenient way to meet your daily nutritional needs. Our microgreens also support good gut health with gut-friendly bacteria and fibre while helping to bolster immunity, improve energy levels, and reduce oxidative stress and inflammation.
How are Cress Microgreens Grown?
Cress microgreens grow quickly in shallow trays filled with compost. They require regular misting and sunlight, typically ready for harvest within 5-7 days. Cress microgreens are also available in microgreen powder, making it easy to incorporate their health benefits into meals.
