Tahoon Cress
Tahoon Cress is a product harvested at the north side of the Himalayas.
In early spring, women collect the freshly germinating seedlings from under the trees. The young sprouts are then used in dishes. In local literature, it is described as a stimulant for the stomach.
Tahoon Cress does well with game, cheese, or in a nut salad. Even when it's not game season, Tahoon Cress is fantastic with tapenades, oil, and sauces. Slightly heating the cress brings out its flavour even more.
