About Garden cress

Garden cress, a fast-growing leafy green, is recognized for its peppery flavor and nutrient-dense profile. Originating from the Mediterranean and parts of Western Asia, this versatile herb is often used in salads, sandwiches, soups, and garnishes, complementing both Western and Middle Eastern cuisines. It’s packed with essential nutrients such as vitamins A, C, and K, as well as calcium, iron, and folate, making it excellent for supporting immune health, bone density, and cardiovascular wellbeing. Garden cress also contains antioxidants, phytochemicals, and dietary fiber, promoting digestion and combating oxidative stress. With its low-calorie count and hydrating properties, it’s ideal for weight management and adding freshness to meals. However, individuals with thyroid conditions should moderate their intake due to its natural goitrogens. Its bold flavor and exceptional nutrition make garden cress a dynamic addition to health-conscious diets.
