Upland Cress, also known as Winter Cress or Creasy Greens in the South, is a peppery salad green that grows about 4 to 6 inches tall. Its leaves, shoots, and flower buds are all edible and rich in phytochemicals and flavonoids, and it has been studied by Yale University for cancer-prevention properties.
