Belle Isle watercress – Organic
Brassicaceae barbarea verna Biennial
4.49$
Spring prickly pear, earth cress or garden cress are all names for this biennial herbaceous plant native to Southern Europe and Turkey. In England, it has been cultivated as a leafy vegetable since the 17th century. Even if watercress cannot do without water, it requires less water than watercress, which makes it easier to cultivate in the vegetable garden.
Rich in vitamins and zinc, the young leaves of this watercress are eaten raw, in salads, and the larger leaves, which have become a little tough, are cooked like spinach or served in soup. Their very pleasant taste is slightly peppery, but is comparable to that of watercress. To avoid harming the plant, always leave a few leaves on the base. Garden cress is grown in the sun.
Number of days for harvest: 50
