Arugula is an aromatic salad green. It is also known as rocket, roquette, rugula and rucola, and is popular in Italian cuisine.
Add arugula to mixed green salads, or spotlight the leaves in a salad that features fruit such as pears or oranges; the peppery, pungent flavor of arugula complements the sweetness of the fruit. Add arugula leaves to sandwiches in place of other, less flavorful greens. You can also sautָ arugula in olive oil with some chopped garlic; serve as a side dish or toss with hot pasta.
Rocket leaf - Wild rocket leaf
Look for bright green leaves that are delicately crisp, and stems that are neither withered or slimy. The younger (smaller) the leaves, the less likely that they will have an excessively pungent flavor; leaves that are just 2" to 3" long are young and tender. When grown in very hot weather, arugula will have a stronger taste.
To store, place the unwashed arugula in a plastic bag, closing it loosely to admit some air, and refrigerate.
The seeds can serve as a substitute for mustard seeds. On another interesting note, Rocket or Arugula seed has been used as an ingredient in aphrodisiac concoctions dating back to the first century, AD.
Nutritionally Speaking:
Arugula is a nutritional powerhouse, containing significant folate (folic acid) and calcium. (The latter is unusual in a salad green. For example, arugula has more than eight times as much of this bone-building mineral as iceberg lettuce). Arugula is a cruciferous vegetableדa member of the same family as cabbage and broccoliדand like all such vegetables, it contains cancer-fighting phytochemicals called indoles. Arugula's dark green color and tart flavor are an indication that it also contains some beta-carotene and vitamin C (more than any other salad green). Like most salad greens, Arugula is very low in calories and is high in vitamins A and C. A 1/2 cup serving is two calories.
