Did you know?

Arugula has been enjoyed since Roman times and was even considered an aphrodisiac.
Its peppery taste comes from glucosinolates, the same compounds found in mustard and broccoli.
Arugula is technically a cruciferous vegetable, like cabbage and kale.
It grows quickly, often maturing in just 3–4 weeks after planting.
Arugula is sometimes called “rocket” in Europe.
