Notes & Growing Tips: Cress is a mucilaginous seed. It prefers less water in the sprouting stage than most other microgreens seeds. Use less water initially in the tray (1.5 cups instead of 2 cups) and use less mist. Keep damp but don't allow to get soggy. Over watered cress seeds will have a very low germination rate.
Cress has an interesting shaped leaf that is light green in color. The peppery flavor is intense.
