Their fast-growing nature makes them especially appealing to beginner sprouters and home gardeners seeking instant results.
To grow curly cress sprouts, soak the seeds briefly, then rinse and drain twice daily. Within just 2 to 3 days, you'll enjoy crisp, flavorful greens that bring boldness and texture to your meals. Because of their strong taste, curly cress is often used as a garnish or blended with milder sprouts to create balanced flavor profiles.
