Winter Cress

Winter Cress (1500's)

Winter Cress was also known as Scurvy Grass because it was one of the few green vegetables available during the middle of winter and was a needed source of Vitamin C which prevents scurvy. It was a common salad green in the 16th and 17th century and Gerard mentioned it in the Herball in 1597. A very hardy biennial.
