Organic Cress Seed Caligula

Horseradish or Watercress is part of the "Lepidium sativum" family, it is native to the Middle East and its medicinal properties are well documented since antiquity, being an ingenious solution to prevent scurvy (vitamin C deficiency) among sailors.

The microplants of the Horseradish are ideal for detoxification cures, being full of vitamins A, B, C, E and K, all essential amino acids, iron, calcium and folic acid.

Containing more vitamin C than an equivalent serving of an orange, the ivy microplants help to maintain a healthy cardiovascular system. Eggplant also contains high amounts of carotenoids which are good for eye and vision health.

How can we eat them?

Eggplant is best eaten raw or steamed and is ideal for sandwiches, salads and as a garnish or condiment in various dishes.

About organic watercress seeds

The microplant of watercress, thanks to its curly leaves and spicy flavour, is perfect for pairing with any of your dishes.

Organic watercress seeds may contain traces of soy, mustard, wheat, gluten and herbs.

Horseradish/Creson is a mucilaginous seed, which means it develops a mucus membrane around itself when it comes in contact with water. Being native to hot, dry climates, watercress developed this defensive mechanism of mucus formation as a way to ensure constant moisture during germination.

It is recommended not to soak the hemp hydroponic growing medium with too much water or to soak watercress seeds in water.

Keep the seeds in a cool, airy place with a temperature between 8° and 20° C, away from bad weather, changes in humidity and direct sunlight.
