Persian Cress, also known as Lepidium sativum, is a fast-growing, hardy salad green that is known for its peppery flavor. It typically grows well in a variety of conditions and can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors. The seeds of Persian Cress are small, round, and usually dark brown or black in color. When planted, these seeds can germinate quickly, often within just a few days, and the plants reach maturity in about 3 to 4 weeks. The leaves are tender and can be used in salads, sandwiches, or as a garnish, adding a zesty kick to dishes. Persian Cress is also rich in vitamins and can be harvested continuously by trimming the leaves, encouraging new growth. Growing Persian Cress from seeds is an excellent choice for gardeners looking for a quick and nutritious addition to their home-grown herbs and greens.
