Cress

Warm, peppery, and satisfyingly crunchy—Cress is a timeless favourite for green salads, egg sandwiches, and more. It’s not just about flavour either; Cress is packed with fibre, plant-based proteins, and vitamins A, C, and E, making it a smart and nutritious choice for lunchboxes, snacks, or garnishing your home-cooked meals.

Each punnet contains approximately 30 to 40 grams of produce, depending on the plant. That’s enough for 3–4 servings as a garnish or topping, or 1–2 servings when used as a salad base. For a more complex and flavourful salad, we recommend combining it with our other microgreens. This product is sold as a living punnet, with the microgreens still growing in their coir growth medium and roots intact. This natural setup keeps your greens fresher for longer and allows you to harvest them right when you’re ready to eat. Simply store the punnet in your fridge like any other fresh produce. Because the crop is still growing, the weight of the greens alone can vary—our 30–40 gram estimate is an approximation based on average growth at harvest stage.
