Description

Curly or Curled Cress is a type of Garden Cress which is fast growing and has a tangy, peppery flavour. It is nutritious and tasty accompaniment for use in all sorts of foods from salads and sandwiches to soups.

It is the classic accompaniment to egg sandwiches and can be grown indoors all year round. As it is fast growing ( ready to harvest in 6 -8 days) it's a great way to get kids into growing and using their imagination to come up with novelty ways of growing it.
