Who hasn't crafted cress hedgehogs or grown cress on cotton wool in their childhood? Childishly simple in cultivation and every time a dream when fresh on buttered bread.
Cress originates from Persia and can be cultivated on the windowsill all year round or outdoors from spring. Thanks to its healthy mustard oils and the contained vitamin C, it's a great virus killer and expels springtime fatigue.
