Garden cress - peppery herb full of vitamins

Garden cress is a small herb from the Brassicaceae family with a characteristic peppery flavor reminiscent of horseradish. Among the fastest-growing herbs, it can be harvested just 7-10 days after sowing. Growing easily even without soil on moist cotton or a paper towel on a windowsill, it is consumed exclusively fresh, as drying causes loss of flavor and nutrients. Added to sandwiches, salads, soups, and egg dishes, this herb is rich in vitamin C, iron, calcium, and folic acid.
