When is a punnet of cress not cress?

I'd go for growing your own. As I recall it grows fast- student friend away for a week was pranked by having it blown under his door and watered

I buy cress almost every week, and I did not realise that it was anything other than one plant till reading this. Xxx

On the label it says 80% rape, 20% cress

I didn't know either, I assumed cress was 100% cress

At least you got 20% cress.


I bought some Tropicana "Orange and Lime Juice" to find that it contained just 0.5% lime.


In fact it contained 10 times more grape juice than lime juice but that fact wasn't mentioned in the "name" of the product.


(94.5% orange juice, 5% grape juice, 0.5% lime juice)

Lime is very strong though. You wouldn't want to have it contain 100% or even 50% lime juice. Grape juice has a neutral sweetening taste similar to using sugar. At least it's got 100% fruit juice which is a change.

Best to grow your own.

You won't find many (any?) places that sell 100% Lepidium sativum.
