Arugula is also known as the “rocket salad” – which is a fitting name for this zippy, leafy green. It is one of the most nutritious, green-leafy vegetables of Mediterranean origin. Arugula is crisp and green, and it has an initial nutty flavor with a hint of sweetness that fades into a peppery, earthy, and pungent bite.
With very few calories and tons of flavor, it is a great green to help maintain healthy weight without sacrificing great taste! Arugula is a great source of Vitamins A, C, and K. It is also an excellent source of calcium, magnesium, potassium, manganese, and iron. One cup has only 9 calories with barely a trace of fat. Yet, it delivers protein, dietary fiber, and nearly all essential vitamins and minerals.

Arugula greens are intended for raw preparations. Though small and tender, their peppery bite is best suited for savory dishes. Arugula is best left undressed, added only at the very final stage of finishing dishes such as pasta, soups, salads, omelets, or vegetable plates.
Arugula pairs well with cheeses, nuts, avocado, balsamic vinegar, lemon, mint, cucumber, tomato, olives, garlic, beets, fennel, pears, grapes, prosciutto, and roast beef.
