PEPPRCRESS OR CRESSIDA HAS SLENDER FERN LIKE LEAVES AND TENDER LIME GREEN STEMS. YOUNG SHOOTS ARE MOST MILD, WHILE MATURE LEAVE AND DRIED SEED PODS ARE QUITE INTENSE. THE FLAVOR IS INITIALLY GRASSY AND EARTHY, BUT THEN DELOPES INTO A STRONG , SPICEY PEPPERY FLAVOR. THE HERBAL YET HOT TASTE IS SIMILAR TO ITS RELATIVES, THE MUSTARD GREEN AND WATERCRESS.
