Origins and History

Dutch Broadleaf Cress, is a traditional European heirloom green long cherished for its fast growth and peppery flavor. While cress itself has ancient origins in the Middle East and Mediterranean, where it was valued for both culinary and medicinal uses, the broadleaf Dutch strain gained prominence in northern Europe. Dutch gardeners selected this variety for its larger, flatter leaves and milder taste compared to more pungent upland cresses, making it a staple of kitchen gardens and urban window boxes for centuries.

Appearance and Characteristics

This variety is a leafy annual herb with broader, rounder leaves than the fine, frilly cress types. The foliage is bright green, tender, and slightly succulent, forming a lush, dense mat of growth. Dutch Broadleaf Cress is known for its rapid germination—often sprouting within 3 to 5 days—and quick maturity, typically ready to harvest within 2 to 3 weeks. Its flavor is fresh, crisp, and lightly peppery, similar to watercress but easier to grow in soil.

Culinary Uses

Dutch Broadleaf Cress is prized as a cut-and-come-again salad green. Its delicate yet peppery leaves are used fresh in sandwiches, salads, egg dishes, and as garnishes. It can be blended into soups, purées, and sauces for a lively bite. In traditional European cooking, cress was often served alongside rich meats, cheeses, or buttered bread, balancing heavier flavors with its sharp freshness. It is best eaten raw, as cooking diminishes its characteristic zest.

Growing Tips 

Cress is one of the easiest and most forgiving greens to grow, making it ideal for both beginner gardeners and intensive succession planting. Dutch Broadleaf Cress thrives in USDA zones 3–9, though it prefers cool conditions. It is best sown directly outdoors in early spring or fall, as hot summer weather can cause bolting and bitter leaves. Seeds should be sown shallowly, about ¼ inch deep, and thinned to about 2–3 inches apart. Continuous sowings every 2–3 weeks ensure a steady harvest. The plant tolerates containers, raised beds, and even indoor trays with adequate light.

Harvesting Guidance

Dutch Broadleaf Cress matures quickly, with baby leaves ready to cut within 12–15 days and full-size leaves in 20–25 days. Harvest can be done by snipping individual leaves or shearing the tops when they reach 2–4 inches tall, leaving the base to regrow for a second cutting. For the best flavor, pick in the morning while leaves are crisp and tender. Regular cutting also helps delay bolting. If allowed to flower, cress produces small white blooms and can readily self-seed for a naturalized patch.

Exceptionally nice and light for older skin (with a couple of caveats)
Color: Medium, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Color: Medium, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
At 75, foundation can be a real challenge, too heavy and it settles into fine lines, looking caked on, and it will make you look way older than you are! I've always leaned toward a natural finish anyway, so when I discovered this tinted moisturizer at such a great price I was super happy! For the most part, it delivers. It has a noticeable luminous finish that reads as "shiny" on my skin, and it won't do much to conceal age spots (though honestly, I'm fully aware, that's not what a tinted moisturizer is designed for.) A dab of concealer handles my brown spots and for the shine, a light dusting of mineral powder does the trick. The SPF is of course, a big bonus. If you're an active outdoors person who wants effortless, natural-looking light coverage without the weight of a foundation, this is it.

Hydrating Tinted Mineral Sunscreen with Great Coverage
Color: Medium, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I really loved this tinted mineral sunscreen. Besides providing excellent sun protection, it gives the skin a natural and even tone that looks beautiful. The texture is lightweight, hydrating, and doesn’t feel heavy on the skin. It also helps cover small imperfections without looking cakey or artificial. Perfect for everyday use to keep the skin protected and moisturized.

Great product!
Color: Medium, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Really wish I had found this sooner. We spend a lot of time outdoors for baseball and this is perfect for the hot summers. I put this on with a little blush and it looks better than my foundation and protects my skin. Isn’t greasy like regular sunscreen. Skin isn’t dry after wearing either.

Don’t order from this company if you need your things in a few days, I ordered prime almost 4 days ago and it’s now saying it’s delayed until July 5th… WTH! I should’ve been told sooner so I could buy from another company

Doesn’t stink, not super thick and minimal white cast
Color: Medium, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The product is a lot thinner than other sunblocks. VERY creamy! The tint is sheer but it’s less sheer than I actually thought. Which is fine bc I’ll use it as more natural makeup in the summer time if I go anywhere. It’s not so much that you can tell either though! My sister who sees me every single day told me my skin looked “very youthful” today and didn’t know it was tinted spf. She had smelled my face when I wore another spf and had agreed the other one STUNK so badly but we didn’t smell anything on this one. I am fairly light but I got the medium based on reviews I searched for on tiktok. I figured the white cast would lighten it up somehow but there is NO WHITE CAST! But the color is still fine bc it isn’t chalky like la Roche posay tinted liquid spf. This is very natural! When I applied this product it looked SO SHINY. I almost regretted it…. But 20-30 min later (I applied it then immediately drove 15 min to my sisters house) the product had set and it has a much more natural and dewy but not crazy oily finish. I love it so far. I do consider myself to have very sensitive dry/combo skin and am in the process of repairing a damaged skin barrier. This didn’t itch or burn or anything. I did notice it started pulling after rubbing it in so much but I did kinda rush my morning routine this morning. I’ll update if it wasn’t my bad. Update: it’s been 5 hrs since I applied it. It’s definitely not going to be doubling as a moisturizer. I don’t feel like it’s dehydrated but it’s not moisturizing like other sun screen has been. But maybe just expected it to since it’s cerave but it’s not marketed as such. But that’s ok with me bc I’m more worried about the SPF part of the product. Shade: at first I didn’t notice bc I was just indoors…. But it has enough tint for someone to notice the change in skin tone between my face and body so now I’m going to need to order the light one

Outstanding sunscreen.
Color: Medium, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I just ordered my second bottle of this sunscreen. I live in Florida so sunscreen is a big necessity. Love it. The little tint is perfect and it feels great. It is not overly greasy. I do apply a little powder and a little blush then I’m on my way out the door. I highly recommend this product.
