About Broccoli cress

Broccoli cress is a young cress-type plant food identified by its association with broccoli. The name does not establish a cultivar, growing method, or whether the product is sprouts, microgreens, or another young-leaf form.

It is commonly used fresh as a garnish or salad ingredient. The tender leaves and stems may have a green appearance and a fresh, sometimes pungent flavour, but these characteristics depend on the product and maturity. Packaging or a fuller label can clarify the precise form.
