About Garden Cress Microgreens
Garden cress is one of the fastest-growing microgreens, producing tender young leaves with a fresh, slightly peppery flavour. These nutrient-rich greens are commonly used to enhance salads, sandwiches, omelettes, soups, and smoothies. Their quick growth and vibrant taste make them a favourite for home kitchens and indoor growing setups.
Hydroponics & Smart Garden Compatibility
Garden cress microgreens thrive exceptionally well in hydroponic systems, sprouting bowls, and smart indoor gardens. Hydroponics provides consistent moisture and oxygen around the seeds, helping them germinate quickly and evenly. This allows garden cress to develop into harvest-ready microgreens in just a few days, making it ideal for year-round indoor growing.
