{"product_id":"bishy-barnabees-cottage-garden-cress-common","title":"Cress Common","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlmost everyone who grew up in Britain has grown cress — on damp kitchen paper, in an eggshell, on a wet flannel on a primary school windowsill. It is where British growers begin, and the first tiny peppery shoots cut with blunt scissors are one of the most universally remembered encounters with gardening there is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is far more than nostalgia. The flavour is sharp, clean and immediate — not the fiery heat of a radish microgreen but a bright, almost aquatic pepper that is entirely its own. It arrives vividly and then goes, which is what makes it so useful: it brightens a dish without taking it over.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNever rinse the seed.\u003c\/strong\u003e Cress seeds develop a clear gel coating when wetted, which is what anchors them to a damp surface and holds moisture for the germinating seedling. It looks alarming and is entirely natural. Rinsing removes it and germination suffers badly. Mist gently from above instead. Four to six days from scattering to scissors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bishy Barnabees Cottage Garden","offers":[{"title":"50g","offer_id":53766726648141,"sku":"MCG-CCM-1","price":1.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"100g","offer_id":53766726680909,"sku":"MCG-CCM-2","price":3.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0828\/6961\/6973\/files\/Common_Cress_1.png?v=1776894975","url":"https:\/\/thefoalyard.co.uk\/products\/bishy-barnabees-cottage-garden-cress-common","provider":"The Foalyard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
