Curly Cress

Description
No soak needed for this peppery sprout!

Current lot is a different variety than our previous lot which just means the leaves are slightly different and not as curly. Rest assured it's still that great peppery Cress flavor!
- Days to Sprout Sprout- 4-5 days. Microgreen- 8-12 days
- Soak Time NO SOAK
- Yield Sprouts- 1 tbsp dry seed yields approx. 2-3 cups sprouts. Microgreens- 1 tbsp dry seed yields approx. 8-12 cups microgreens.
- Storage Our seeds should sprout well for a year after you purchase them, if stored in a cool dry place. If you'd like to extend the germination life of your seeds, store them in the fridge. If you store your seeds in the freezer, they'll last even longer!

Sprouting Directions

Do Not Soak Seed

Dampen an unglazed clay pot bottom or tray lined with Baby Blanket, unbleached paper towel or coffee filter, or soil. Sprinkle lightly with dry seeds, leaving space between the seeds. Spray lightly with water until damp but not too wet. Preserve moisture by loosely covering seeds with clear plastic.

Spray lightly with water twice a day. Keep damp, but not too wet. When established, sprouts can be rinsed under a slow flowing tap.

Enjoy! Ready in 4-8 days.

Sprouts store best when fairly dry- do not store immediately after rinsing.

I have always wanted to try cress. I soaked a pot bottom and sprinkled the seed on top. The lid is now covered with the green sprouts, very nice

Describe Yourself: Healthy Lifestyle

I ordered curly cress seeds because a client who grew up in Germany asked for it twice. It was a delightful microgreen with about several popping flavors. I tasted pepper, savory, sweet, lemony, and a "get your attention" pungent kick flavors. A caterer tasted it and said it will be great on seafood especially mild fish. A single small stem with few of the beautiful leaves get your attention right away when you crush them.
