Use seeds in making your own hot mustard! Native to the Mediterranean, this mustard is suited to the valley and foothill climate. Expect it to go to seed quickly but that is ok since it is mainly grown for its seeds. The leaves are mild, but slightly hairy, and can be used as a braising green. Annual.

Lepidium sativum

This cress is very spicy. Use as a garnish or add to salad and other dishes. Leaves oblong and smooth along margins. Cool weather green.

Notes from a customer about how she uses this variety, "I think of Persian cress as a green. I am Iranian myself and the way Iranians serve the cress is, in a plate of greens (which are considered herbs here ), with mint, basil, chives, cilantro, tarragon, radish and spring onion, or even by itself. A salad of raw greens/herbs as a side to every meal. Try it! It is amazing! You can even add nuts and feta cheese to the plate!"
