Ja, tray geht. Oder container, das sind wohl die beiden häufigsten Handelsbezeichnungen für die kleinen Behälter, in denen (garden) cress wächst und verkauft wird, ungekeimt, angekeimt oder - wie an der Gemüse- oder Salattheke - schon gesprossen.

BTW, you can normally buy alfafa sprouts in supermarkets in the US. They are sold in little boxes or, more often, in little plastic tubs (a tub has higher walls than a tray).

Über "ein Beet Kresse [kaufen]" würde ich stolpern.

Ich auch. Aber es guhgelt ganz gut.

BTW, you can normally buy alfafa sprouts in supermarkets in the US. They are sold in little boxes or, more often, in little plastic tubs (a tub has higher walls than a tray).

Such tubs are also sold in German supermarkets, but contain only the plucked alfalfa sprouts for immediate or short-time consumption. But (garden) cress is usually sold on a plastics or cardboard seed tray in a small cardboard box and you can store or try to grow them for some days on your kitchen window sill.

#11, Serendipity: In Rezepten ist das "Beet Kresse" ein völlig gebräuchlicher Ausdruck.

Ich lese pro Tag etwa 5-8 Rezepte und koche dann etwas ganz anderes. 😉

Google findet mit Zutaten "Beet Kresse" immerhin etwa 8000 Seiten. Die habe ich offenbar noch nicht gelesen, was mich rein statistisch betrachtet schon wundert. Ist das vielleicht regional? Wobei ich m.W. die Gesamtausgabe des Internets gebucht habe...

Hier findet sich die gleiche Frage eines verwunderten Menschen.

Keep punnets of cress on the windowsill, and follow the package instructions for watering. Bagged cress will remain fresh for a couple of days in the refrigerator.

You can buy a pot of growing cress in the UK supermarkets. With smaller dimensions than those listed in #0, though. I would naturally call them a tub of cress or a pot of cress, but I'm finding that punnet of cress googles better in recipes online.

BBC Good Food website has a whole page dedicated to cress (https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/cress) and all the recipes there (who knew there were so many types of cress!) that refer to the container call it a punnet.

Tescos (big supermarket chain) also call their product a punnet of cress, but, unhelpfully, Morrisons and Waitrose just call theirs 'salad cress' and don't name the container...

(#9 - punnets don't need to be cardboard. In fact, my first association is a plastic tub. I normally only associate the word punnet with raspberries and strawberries, but now I evidently need to add 'cress' to that list)
