New Nutritional Medicine Kits at the Farmacy

“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”
Hippocrates
From Our Farmacy - The Garden Cress Kit - a great source of Vitamins C & K,  Carotenoids + Cancer Fighters. In India and Europe, the medicinal properties of garden cress (Lepidium sativum) have been recognized for centuries. This culinary and healing herb has a tangy, peppery taste similar to leaf mustard and watercress. Its distinctive flavor and high nutritional value makes garden cress a tasty and healthy addition to salads, smoothies, omelettes, sandwiches and more.

Garden cress has been studied extensively, and extracts are showing effectiveness on breast cancer cells in laboratory testing. Being part of the brassica family, it is a natural source of anti cancer compounds. Garden cress also contains carotenoids to help with eye health. It even has more vitamin C than oranges per weight. Just a small helping contains almost 100% of your daily requirement for vitamin K, which is necessary for blood & cardiovascular health.
This potent, nutritional powerhouse is also extremely fast growing and robust. Our countertop LED MicroHerb growing units make a beautiful addition to the home. This kit contains one black growing tray, a recycled plastic humidity dome, WonderSoil (sustanainable coir based bioSoil with worm castings & mycorrhiza), and organic, non-GMO garden cress seeds. Complete instructions are included to grow your crop in just 7-10 days. Adding a little garden cress microherbs to your meals will spice up your life, and go a long way in both taste and nutrition.
