[Joseph A]

Hello everyone,
Could you please tell me the meaning of the following vegetable in the picturr below?

It's spicy/pungent. In Arabic, it's called " رشاد ". But, I wanted to find its meaning using google translate, but it didn't tanslate it properly or a different word csme up.

I copied your Arabic into Google Translate, and it immediately translated the word as "cress." Is there some reason why you do not think this is some form of cress?

Thank you, Toby Sherman.
But in my google translate, the word "Rashad" came up. It is a proper name
🙄.
Besides that, for the word "cress", I found another image which has a different name.

There are different kinds of cress. Some have flatter leaves, while others have curlier leaves. Here is a picture of a type of cress very like what you showed:

Cress is not usually spicy/pungent : the photo you posted looks like rocket.

No, "rocket" is something else. I'm sorry.

It's lepidium campestre, also called field pepperwort, field pepperweed or field cress.

Lepidium campestre, also known as field pepperweed, is a small annual or biennial herbaceous plant with deeply lobed leaves and small white flowers that produce round seedpods containing small brown seeds. It is native to Europe and western Asia but has been introduced to other parts of the world and can be found in a variety of habitats. It has been used for medicinal purposes and as a forage crop for livestock and can be considered an invasive species in some areas.

This herb, رشاد, is well known in Lebanon. Some dictionaries call it "garden cress" (Lepidium sativum). It seems that some people call it curly, or curled, cress. You may check it on Youtube (video title: What's That Herb Ep07 - Curled Cress).
