Recipes and Tips

Mustard Cress brings heat and complexity, making it an essential microgreen for those who love to experiment with intense flavors. A natural alternative to prepared mustard, they add fresh heat to roast beef, turkey, and charcuterie sandwiches.

Mustard Cress cuts through the richness of grilled steaks, smoked sausages, and slow-cooked pork belly. Their spicy flavor pairs beautifully with smoked salmon, seared tuna, and grilled shrimp. A handful adds an unexpected fiery twist to fresh greens, slaws, and grain-based dishes.

Use them instead of wasabi for a unique mustardy heat in sushi rolls and sashimi. Mustard Cress complements creamy cheeses like brie and ricotta while adding depth to sharp cheddars. In soups and broths, stir this living microgreen in at the last moment for a fresh, peppery bite. You can also muddle them into a Bloody Mary or use them as a striking garnish for spicy cocktails.

Nutritional Facts

A standout benefit of Mustard Cress is its high levels of glucosinolates, natural compounds with powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. These phytochemicals are responsible for their signature heat and may support cardiovascular health and help reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
