Popular and tasty plant, used in salads and as an ingredient in various dishes. The taste is spicy and slightly peppery. Can be grown outdoors or in a pot on a balcony. Can be grown in pots indoors all year round, giving it a milder flavor. Repeated sowing provides access to fresh leaves for a long time. Take a break from sowing in high summer when the plants can easily flower. Harvest late, about 3-5 weeks after sowing. Thrives in a loamy, moisture retentive and well-drained soil. Water regularly. Covering preferably with non-woven fabric.
