Cress microgreens are a classic and versatile choice, known for their distinctive peppery and tangy flavour. These tiny greens are a nutritional powerhouse, rich in vitamins A, C and K making them an excellent addition to a health-conscious diet. With their quick growth cycle and easy cultivation, Cress microgreens are perfect for beginners. Their vibrant green leaves add not only a spicy kick to dishes but also a visually appealing touch.
