How to Grow Cress on Kitchen Roll?
- First, lay the provided flat container on the floor with kitchen paper or cotton wool. Other products with pulp are also suitable, for example, paper handkerchiefs or kitchen rolls. If only a high container is available, this can also be used, but it must then be filled with cotton wool or kitchen roll so that the cress can grow out over it. Kresse can be planted in yogurt cups, for example.
- The cress can also germinate in soil, but it can be that the cress is soiled with soil and has to be washed after harvesting.
- Before the seeds can be distributed, the kitchen paper or the cotton wool must be properly wet so that the seeds can also germinate well.
- The seed can be spread directly from the package onto the cotton wool or the kitchen roll, preferably scatter the seeds as evenly as possible so that the seeds do not lie on top of each other or too close together.
- During the complete germination, the paper or the cotton wool must not dry out. The seed should, therefore, be poured daily. However also not too strong because otherwise, the seeds could swim.
- Already after one day, one can already observe how the first dresses men begin to sprout. Cress is very fast growing. Already after about seven days, the first cress can be harvested. Cut the required amount with the kitchen scissors.
Cress is very versatile to use. It often serves as decoration on the plate, on cheese plates, or is eaten pure on buttered bread or in the salad.
