The flavor of Chilli Cress really comes through in dishes which ordinarily call for radish. It is also a good addition to cold salads. In hot dishes, Chilli Cress can be combined with fatty or crunchy dishes.

Origin

Chilli Cress is a very popular item in China, where it is used in many dishes. The Chili Cress grows to become a large red, green turnip, which is usually cooked, to give the dish a spicy flavor. As cress, it needs to be kept cold, to prevent the cress to grow too rapidly.

Availability

Chilli Cress is available year-round and can easily be stored for up to seven days at a temperature of 2-7°C. When the plants are kept at a higher temperature the plant will continue growing and start using water from the medium. If this happens, there is no problem. Just wet the medium and put the plants back into the cooling. Produced in a socially responsible culture, Chili Cress meets the hygienic kitchen standards. The product is ready to use since it is grown clean and hygienically.
