Sakura Cress

Sakura Cress is our striking living microgreen that delivers both a visual and flavor punch. This microgreen adds an artistic touch to any plate with their deep reddish-purple leaves and delicate stems. They pack a robust flavor reminiscent of black radish, offering a hot, spicy, and peppery kick with a juicy bite. They enhance dishes by adding layers of complexity without overwhelming the primary ingredients, making them a favorite among chefs.

Sakura Cress is highly versatile, making it a go-to ingredient in both raw and cooked dishes. They provide a well-balanced heat that pairs beautifully with a range of flavors. The slightly succulent texture adds freshness to every bite, making them an excellent choice for dishes that need an extra dimension of taste and vibrancy.

Sakura Cress seamlessly blends into a variety of dishes. They bring a spicy, peppery contrast to crisp greens, citrus dressings, and nutty toppings. Enhances creamy or clear soups by adding a bright, radish-like spice.

They complement sushi, seared tuna, scallops, and shellfish with their fresh, peppery bite. Pairs well with grilled steak, roast chicken, and smoked duck, cutting through rich flavors.

They also add depth to burgers, deli sandwiches, and plant-based wraps with a bold taste. You can elevate your simple scrambled eggs, frittatas, and deviled eggs with this living microgreen’s sharp, spicy undertone. They offer a beautiful visual contrast and a zesty bite alongside creamy cheeses and cured meats.

Sakura Cress also provides valuable nutritional benefits apart from their vibrant color and bold taste. Rich in anthocyanins, the antioxidants responsible for the striking purple hue, this living microgreen helps combat oxidative stress and inflammation, which may contribute to better heart health and a lower risk of chronic diseases.

Sakura Cress is a good source of vitamins A, C, and K. Vitamin A supports vision, immune function, and skin health. Vitamin C is essential for collagen production, supports the immune system, and helps protect cells from oxidative damage. Vitamin K plays a crucial role in bone strength and proper blood clotting, supporting overall cardiovascular health.

Beyond vitamins, Sakura Cress contains essential minerals such as potassium, which helps regulate blood pressure and muscle function, calcium, which supports strong bones, and iron, which is crucial for oxygen transport and energy production. The fiber content in Sakura Cress may also aid digestion and support gut health, making them an excellent choice for those looking to incorporate nutrient-dense ingredients into their diet.

Our living microgreen, Sakura Cress, can be conveniently stored on your kitchen counter or in the refrigerator. Comes in a cress tray, which ensures optimal flavor and easy use whenever you need them.
