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.
Can I grow cress without soil?
Yes. Cress grows well hydroponically on damp paper towel, a grow mat, or coco coir, which also keeps the harvest clean.
