Piara is a moderately green cress with an average height and length of stems. The leaves have a typical form for cresses: wide, slightly round leaves that remain fresh throughout the season. Each leaf easily decomposes, and their color does not lose its brightness even after several days of storage.
The taste of piara is delicate and somewhat sweetish, without the spiciness typical of cresses. This makes it a great addition to salads, soups, pasta or just hot vegetable dishes. It cooks quickly: boiled or stewed for a few minutes.
Piara grows easily – average height and moderate green color indicate the stability of the plant. Does not require special conditions, grows well in sunny or semi-shady places, and its stems are not too thin, which reduces the risk of breakage during harvest. This is an ideal choice for those who want to quickly get a tasty vegetable without extra trouble.
