Koppert Cress introduces two new cresses: Bicolor Mustard Cress and Shiso Bicolor

The Bicolor Mustard Cress brings a surprising mix of flavours that feel both familiar and innovative. This cress offers a tangy and versatile flavour profile with notes of mustard and horseradish, perfectly suited to a wide range of dishes. But it's not just the flavour that sets Bicolor Mustard Cress apart; it's the shape of its attractive two-coloured leaves in particular that attracts attention. This cress adds a vibrant, playful dimension to both cold and hot preparations. From the spicy bite in a fresh salad to a flavour explosion in a savoury marinade, Bicolor Mustard Cress is a visual and flavourful enhancement to any kitchen.

Originating from Asia, Shiso Bicolor combines the freshness of mint and basil with subtle undertones of cumin and anise. What makes this cress truly special is the beautiful colour combination of the leaves: deep green on top and various shades of purple on the underside. This duality in colour allows chefs to enrich dishes not only in flavour, but also visually. Shiso Bicolor pays a homage to Japanese culinary tradition, where no fish dish is served without shiso. Yet the versatility of this cress extends far beyond its traditional uses, making it an indispensable ingredient for creative chefs worldwide.
