Grower

MicroGreen Peppercress's botanical name is Lepidium Sativum. It is commonly referred to as "Pepper Grass" or "Poor Mans Grass."
MicroGreen Peppercress can be used as a substitute for watercress. This MicroGreen has slender fern like leaves. The flavor is initially mild and then crescendos into a strong spicy flavor. The taste is similar to its relative the mustard green.
MicroGreen Peppercress contains Vitamin A, Vitamin C, B1, B12, calcium, iron and potassium.
MicroGreen Peppercress is great addition to halibut ceviche. It adds a sweet spiciness to the tangy citrus flavor. Try these greens mixed in scrambled eggs with a few wild onions. Peppercress is a good stand-in for recipes that call for watercress, and is especially good in salads. Try tossing peppercress with mixed greens—its assertive flavor will be delicious with milder lettuces like Bibb and green leaf. Cooked briefly, peppercress can add subtle zip to a puree of spring vegetables like peas, favas, and leeks.
