Raw Cress

Raw cress is a leafy vegetable that grows in a delicate rosette shape. It has a peppery taste similar to that of mustard greens or arugula. Cress is a good source of vitamin C, vitamin K, and calcium. It also contains antioxidants that may help to protect against certain chronic diseases. Additionally, cress has been found to have potential antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects. Because of its delicate flavor, raw cress is most commonly used as a garnish or added to salads and sandwiches, but it can also be used in soups or cooked as a side dish.
