Garden Cress Seeds, from the Lepidium sativum plant, are small, peppery seeds used in cooking for their sharp, mustard-like flavor. As a member of the mustard family, they add a noticeable kick to dishes and are popular in both traditional and modern recipes.
These seeds can be sprinkled onto salads, blended into dips, added to sandwiches, or mixed into soups for an extra layer of heat and freshness. Their flavor is similar to mustard and watercress, making them a versatile choice for anyone who wants a quick boost of spice without relying on hot peppers.
Garden Cress Seeds are also valued for their nutritional benefits. They’re naturally rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, and are commonly used in wellness-focused recipes, including drinks, porridges, and herbal mixtures.
Their earthy aroma and sharp taste make them a practical addition to your pantry, especially if you enjoy bright, peppery flavors.
