Scarlet Cress
A bright red young amaranth shoot, as mild as beetroot.
Scarlet Cress is a young amaranth shoot of intense red colour. Its mild taste recalls red beetroot, without any bite. It is used above all to bring a touch of bold, elegant colour to the plate, on savoury and sweet dishes alike, without disturbing the balance of flavours.
