How do I grow cress microgreens?
Scatter seeds thickly over moist soil, coir, or a damp grow pad, mist daily, and keep in bright light. Cress germinates fast and needs no burial, just contact with a moist surface.
How long does cress take to harvest as a microgreen?
Cress is very quick, usually ready to cut in about 5-10 days.
What does cress taste like?
Cress has a fresh, peppery, slightly tangy flavor that pairs well with eggs, soups, sandwiches, and salads.
Do cress seeds need to be soaked first?
No. Cress seeds become gel-like when wet, so mist them onto the surface instead of soaking; soaking makes them clump.
Do cress microgreens grow back after cutting?
No, harvest is a single cut at the base. Reseed the tray or pad for another batch.
What is the difference between sprouts and microgreens?
Sprouts are grown in a jar with just water and eaten whole within a few days. Microgreens are grown on a tray of soil or coir, given light, and cut above the soil after a week or two.
Do I need soil?
Not for sprouts, which only need a jar and water. Microgreens do best on a shallow layer of soil or coconut coir.
How do I store the seeds?
Reseal the bag and keep it in a cool, dry, dark spot. The seeds stay viable for years when stored this way.
