The cress is quite widely known from the kitchen. What is less known is the fact that the tiny seeds of the cress yield an amazingly delicious oil through cold pressing. Here at P?d?r, we produce our cress oil from top quality cress seeds, coming exclusively from ecological farming.
The valuable seeds are thoroughly cleaned and then pressed cold. The result is our premium quality cress oil, allowing the taste and effect of its components to fully develop. Its golden yellow colour and its particularly intensive fragrance is a testimony to its uniqueness.
Cress oil contains polyunsaturated alpha-linolenic acid, which has an anti-inflammatory effect. One of the characteristics of cold-pressed cress seed oil is that it has an optimal proportion of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and as a result, its consumption can reduce cholesterol levels. Also, it has a greatly beneficial effect on the immune system. The omega-3 fatty acids are particularly important for people on a vegetarian or vegan diet since these components tend to be absent from their nutrition. In fact, these fatty acids have an indirect influence on cell metabolism and the human hormone balance; in addition, they strengthen the immune system.
