Didn’t realize they were edible. Googled them after reading your comment and they sound so tasty as well as pretty. Always appreciate a bit of learning. Thank you. 😊

You’ll see them occasionally in restaurant salads here and also in variety lettuce packs. They have quite a peppery taste and I just learned (dito about the learning) that their name in German (Kresse) comes from an old Germanic word (cresso) which meant “hot” (as in pungent).

Interesting! I might have had some since I eat a lot of salads and didn’t even know it. I will keep an eye out for it. 😉
