Talk:Garden cress

Photograph of a single mature plant needed

The main article could be improved if a closeup of a single mature plant were provided. Instead, the main article seems to dwell on Garden cress as a crop, and the pictures are all taken from a distance of 3 or 4 feet. I need to know what a single Garden cress looks like, not just at the time of germination, but after a couple months of growing. For one thing, this would help me understand why people think Garden cress is related to Water cress. Are they making their judgments based on how it tastes at the dinner table? (So far as I can tell, Garden cress looks a lot like a single 3-Leaf clover, before it flowers.)198.177.27.25 (talk) 22:39, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Confusion with Nasturium

I've editted the discription of the plant. There seems to be confusion between the garden plant commonly known as nasturgium and the common garden cress. Nasturium produces yellow/orange/red flowers and caperlike berries. I doubt if the Indian "medicine" connection is actually correct, I couldn't find any references to it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tuna tinner (talk • contribs) 00:27, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Bone healing

There is at least 1 study in rat model, that supports that this product accelerates fracture healing. (link: http://www.ijppsjournal.com/Vol3Suppl2/1187.pdf)

"Nosesmart"

Apparently, "nosesmart" (or "nose-smart", hyphenated) is an another, dated (possibly more British?) folk name for this plant. I first ran across this term in Liddell and Scott's Greek-English Lexicon (there explicitly identified as 'Lepidum sativum'), but it also appeared in Webster's 1913 dictonary (via Wiktionary). Definitely has the air of a 19th century Britishism to me! Perhaps worth adding to the list of regional names on this page, both because such a funny/weird name is interesting on its own merit, and because there's a real if small chance of running across this potentially confusing word in old books.

Cress in the wild?

Had hoped to find such info but not here yet. The linked reference to Kew Gardens suggests it is native to Ethiopia (amongst other places) at one point then includes a map showing it introduced to that area. Perhaps we just don't know. cheers Geopersona (talk) 07:47, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

Reference Serving

100g is usually used as a reference for nutritional content as a reference quantity, but neither I nor google seems to recognise it as a reference serving. The usd of this term might make those unfamiliar with cress think 100g is a normal portion! Stub Mandrel (talk) 16:27, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

Synonyms

"garden cress is known as mustard and cress, ..."

I don't think so. Mustard and cress is, as its name suggests, a mixture of cress sprouts with mustard sprouts. Bagunceiro (talk) 13:44, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
