Garden cress

Lepidium sativum

Lepidium sativum, commonly known as garden cress, is a traditional plant with origins in Europe and Asia. Traditionally, it has been used for culinary purposes but no specific medicinal uses are documented across various traditions. Scientific evidence suggests that AuNP-containing gels derived from L. sativum may influence the biochemical status of seedlings, particularly enhancing photosynthetic pigments and polyphenolic compounds. Additionally, studies indicate that pre-treated organic fractions of municipal solid waste using L. sativum seed gum can improve biogas production and agronomic performance in anaerobic digestion. Double nanoemulsions containing L. sativum seed gum also enhance the antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of saffron petal extract, potentially improving the quality and shelf life of ricotta cheese. No major safety concerns or drug interactions have been recorded for this plant.
