Garden cress, also known as halim is an edible fast-growing herb,
which is native to Persia. Garden cress belongs to the cruciferous
family and is linked to mustard, pepperwort pepper grass and
watercress. Stems, seeds and leaves of garden cress are palatable but
only the leaves and stems are eaten raw in salads or used for other
culinary purposes. The medicinal properties of garden cress have been
recognized for centuries in India and Europe. Due to its unique
flavor and higher nutritional value, garden cress makes a tasty and
healthy addition to salads and sandwiches. Popular varieties of
garden cress include Crinkled, Wrinkled, Crumpled, Curly and Persian.

Geographically,
the global garden cress market is segmented into five regions, namely
North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific including Japan
and Middle East & Africa. In Asia Pacific and Europe, the
medicinal properties of garden cress (Lepidium sativum) have been
recognized for centuries. Garden Cress is commercially grown in major
parts of Europe such as the U.K., France, the Netherlands and
Scandinavia. In the U.K., cut cress shoots are commonly used in
sandwiches with boiled eggs, mayonnaise and salt. Hence, due to rise
in consumption and production of garden cress, Europe and Asia
Pacific are considered to be the dominant markets for garden cress.
Garden
cress has several critical health benefits and plays an important
role in fields of medicines and drug. Anemia is a condition in which
the number of red blood cells or their oxygen-carrying capacity is
insufficient to meet physiologic needs, which varies by age, sex,
altitude, smoking, and pregnancy status. Iron deficiency is thought
to be the most common cause of anemia globally. Iron deficiency
anemia is an important public health problem in the Eastern
Mediterranean Region. It is estimated that more than one-third of the
population in the region is anemic. Pregnant women and young children
are most at risk, i.e., about 50% of pregnant women and 63% of
children under 5 years of age have iron deficiency anemia. Garden
cress consists of vitamin B6 that is required to create hemoglobin in
the blood, which is transported by red blood cells throughout the
body to help bring oxygen to cells and to mobilize iron. Consumption
of vitamin B6 can help lower symptoms of anemia and prevent it from
occurring in some instances. However manufacturer will have to carry
out several awareness and promotional programs among its target
segments since the penetration of the product is comparatively low.
Besides its challenges, its critical functions and properties of
garden cress are driving the demand for the product in the global
market.
Examples
of some of the key players in the global garden
cress market are Cress Company Inc., West Coast Seeds,
Mountain Valley Co., Fruition Seeds, LLC, Kitazawa Seed Company, and
Cresco BV, among others.
