Upland Cress

Upland Cress is a powerhouse microgreen known for their sharp, peppery flavor that adds a lively kick to any dish. With a flavor reminiscent of radish and watercress, their tender, heart-shaped leaves provide both texture and visual appeal.

Chefs love their versatility, using them to enhance everything from salads and sandwiches to seafood and creamy soups. Their distinctive taste and striking appearance make them a favorite for adding vibrancy to culinary creations.

The bold, peppery flavor of Upland Cress makes them a versatile ingredient in both raw and cooked dishes. They pair exceptionally well with seafood, bringing out the natural sweetness of shrimp, scallops, and white fish. Their texture and flavorful bite also enhance fresh salads, grain bowls, and sandwiches, adding depth and complexity.

For a simple yet striking presentation, Upland Cress can be used as a finishing touch on creamy soups, egg dishes, or roasted vegetables, providing a contrast of flavor and a burst of freshness. They also complement rich, fatty dishes like smoked salmon, charcuterie boards, and aged cheeses, balancing out their heaviness with their bright, zesty character.

Upland Cress is packed with essential nutrients that contribute to overall health. They are a great source of vitamins A, C, and K, each playing a crucial role in the body. Vitamin A supports vision, immune function, and skin health, while vitamin C promotes collagen production, strengthens immunity, and aids in healing. Vitamin K is essential for strong bones and proper blood clotting.

These microgreens also deliver key minerals, including calcium for bone strength, potassium for heart health and blood pressure regulation, and iron for oxygen transport and energy production. Rich in antioxidants like flavonoids and carotenoids, they help combat oxidative stress and inflammation. They contain folate, which supports DNA repair, cell growth, and overall cellular function.
