The elegantly designed ceramic bowl by Eschenfelder boasts top quality. Made in Germany - high-fired (over 1200 °C), food-safe, extremely robust, and durable. Visually enhanced by a complete glaze, it is very easy to care for and dishwasher-safe. The stainless steel sieve rests horizontally at a defined distance from the bottom of the bowl on a step integrated into the inner rim. This provides the roots with the necessary space to develop healthily and be harvested together.

Please note that cress is among the seeds that need to lie still during germination. It is also suitable for other mucilaginous seeds such as arugula, mustard, chia, and flaxseed.

Here's how to succeed: Soak 1 teaspoon of seeds (12 cm), 2 teaspoons (16 cm), or 4 teaspoons (21.5 cm) for about 15 minutes, then place the mixture on the sieve. Distribute the seeds evenly and not too densely on the sieve with a knife. Cover everything with an inverted plate for the first two days to protect the seeds from drying out. Mist the seeds twice daily with a spray bottle. Once the roots have grown through the sieve, rinse the roots and sprouts twice daily under running water. Ensure that no water remains in the bowl. You can start harvesting after 6-8 days.

Our tip: Cress also tastes great on pumpernickel. Color of the ceramic bowl: white.
