Garden Cress microgreens are the young shoots of garden cress seeds harvested early when their nutrients and natural pungent flavor are most concentrated. These microgreens grow rapidly and develop tender stems and small leafy shoots with a distinctive peppery taste.
Because of their bold flavor, garden cress microgreens work particularly well in Indian dishes such as chutneys, dal rice, stuffed parathas, sprout chaat, and vegetable sandwiches, adding both spice and nutrition.
Garden cress is traditionally valued for its high iron content, vitamins, and natural antioxidants, which support energy levels, immunity, and digestion.
At Microgreens de Manikonda, our garden cress seeds are carefully selected to ensure strong germination and healthy growth, producing robust microgreens suitable for home growers and urban farming setups.
