This year we grew Chamsur seeds that we received from the Refugee Assistance and Immigration Services program at Catholic Social Services Alaska and the Nepali growers they work with. Known as Chamsur in Nepali, Rashad in Arabic, and Asaliya, Aleev, or Haloon (and probably other names!) across India - this garden cress is harvested for the seed, which is ground into a powder and added to water, or used whole on top of cooked greens or rice.

These garden cress seeds are sought out for their traditional medicinal benefits, especially for respiratory ailments, in addition to their pleasant peppery taste.

The Refugee Assistance and Immigration Services program at CSSAK plans to grow these seeds for our catalog next year, and they happily report that this Chamsur grows well even in cooler climates, such as their farm plots in Anchorage, Alaska!

Days to maturity: 90 days to seed

Seeds per pack: 325-350

Germination rate: 96% on 09/15/2025

Planting / harvesting notes

Shallowly sow seeds directly in the ground as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring, and then every 8 to 10 days. For larger plants, thin to 4-8" apart, in rows 1' apart. This variety is grown for its seeds. Please see the seed keeping notes below for our suggestions on seed harvest and processing.

Seed keeping notes

Allow plants to bolt, and allow the flowers to fade and dry out. Harvest the entire flower stalk when it has dried fully, and lay it out somewhere away from rain and humidity so it can dry further. Whack the seed heads in a bucket to loosen the ripe seeds. Sift them out with a strainer, and winnow away the lightweight chaff with wind, breath, or a fan.

Prequel is always great
Very soothing and calming for skin. Tube lasted a long time. I have sensitive skin and often have reactions but did great with this.

This is a barrier cream?
I also have very oily skin, so normally I stay away from anything that says barrier or balm. I push skin a lot lol...with max strength tretinoin, glycolic acids, salicylic acids, vitamin C... so there are times when I just need max help from a richer product bc sometimes I take it too far. LRP Cicaplast has been a staple and has saved me many a times. I bought this bc of the high percentage of ectoin, 5%, and it was so reasonably priced. When I squeezed the tube, I was really worried, it was thicker looking than the Cicaplast. However, when I spread it out, it was SO light and a tiny amount --barely a pea size, was enough to coat my face. It did not feel heavy. Even with my oily skin, I think I could wear this everyday. As an experiment, I applied any excess on one side of my hand, as I'm right handed, I would apply it on my left hand. I've had this about a week, and right now after doing the dishes, and washing my hands multiple times without any hand cream on it, my right hand is definitely drier than my left hand. My left hand also looks less red and more calm. This formula is 5 stars for both the effectiveness and the elegant formula. It may yet replace my LRP Cicaplast...we'll see!

Saved my daughter’s skin
My 21 yr old has gone from clear skin to now having cystic acne and whilst trying to get to the source of it, her skin has been painfully inflamed and constant dark red breakouts. We have tried other professional skincare’s, “no downtime” peels designed for acne, which made it worse etc. This product Finally was what gave her skin some relief, calmed the pain and inflammation, nearly stopped the breakouts and is allowing her skin to heal up. She said it felt so much better immediately after starting using it. And is so grateful for the redness and pain relief.
