Garden Cress (A.K.A. Common Garden Cress and Peppergrass)
Days to Maturity: 40–50 Days
Believed to have originated in Persia, garden cress spread through the Middle East, Europe, and Asia before reaching the U.S. from China.

Both flowers and seeds are edible and used fresh or in teas. Offering a sharp, mustardy flavor stronger than watercress, garden cress adds zest to creamy foods, salads, and traditional potato and carrot soups. Leaves store several days when refrigerated, and seeds dry well for culinary use or replanting. Rich in protein, iron, magnesium, and anti-inflammatory compounds, it also supports hair, digestion, and skin health, making it a nourishing and valuable addition to any garden!
