Taste
Bicolor Mustard Cress offers a unique taste experience with its spicy mustard-like flavour profile and versatile mustard notes. It is spicy and peppery, with light but distinct notes of mustard and horseradish. The cress tastes like mizuna (mustard) with hints of grass and cauliflower and falls between green and red mustard. Bicolor Mustard Cress brings a playful addition to both cold and hot preparations.
Taste Friends
Because of its coarse mustard character, Bicolor Mustard Cress goes extremely well with meat, fish, and various vegetable dishes. The cress can be used raw as a garnish or incorporated into salads and sandwiches. Moreover, Bicolor Mustard Cress offers an interesting flavour dimension when added to sauces and marinades.
Origin
Bicolor Mustard Cress is carefully grown in the Netherlands. While many confuse the vibrant yellow fields of summer with rapeseed, they are actually flowering mustard fields. The mustard seeds not only serve as green fertiliser, they are also harvested for Koppert Cress and enrich both our plate and the mustard industry.
Delve into the mustard family, which includes numerous varieties. At Koppert Cress, we have picked a new one: a variety with beautiful two-coloured patterns in the leaves, which add an artistic flair to culinary creations and complement the other two mustard varieties Kyona Mustard Cress and Mustard Cress. Experience vibrant shapes and colours with Bicolor Mustard Cress.
