Micro Cress FAQs

Micro cress, also referred to as microgreens or micro leaves, are small, young plants harvested shortly after their first leaves appear. These tiny greens are used as garnishes or in salads for their strong flavours and high nutritional content.

Micro cress is a type of microgreen. Microgreens are a broad category of young, edible plants harvested at an early stage of growth, and micro cress falls within this category. 

Micro cress: Micro cress is a specific type of microgreen, often harvested at the cotyledon stage, which is when the first leaves (cotyledons) appear. MIcro cress has a mild, peppery flavour and is often used as a garnish or in salads. Cress seeds are mucilaginous, meaning they form a gel-like coating when soaked in water.

Micro greens: Microgreens are harvested slightly later than micro cress, usually when the first true leaves have developed, which is about 7-21 days after germination. Micro greens come in a variety of flavours, colours, and textures, depending on the plant species. Microgreens are also known for their intense flavours and high nutrient content.

Micro cress is a fantastic source of vitamins A, C, and K. Vitamin A supports eye health, vitamin C enhances the immune system, and vitamin K plays a crucial role in bone health and blood clotting. Additionally, these tiny greens are rich in antioxidants, which help shield the body from harmful free radicals and minimise oxidative stress.

This is entirely up to you and what you need. We provide bespoke orders and can provide you with a constant supply of freshly delivered that stay fresh for longer, giving you time and saving you money for your food items. If you require any delivery advice, you can contact us for more information here.

Generally, microcress thrives in bright, indirect light, making a sunny windowsill an ideal location. However, direct sunlight should be avoided to prevent scorching the delicate leaves, and often prefer a cool environment, ideally between 15-20°C (59-68°F) so it is best to avoid placing them in locations with significant temperature fluctuations. Additionally, ensure adequate air circulation around plants to deter mould growth.
