Why do we love it?
Arugula is not only delicious, but it packs tons of nutritional benefits as well. It is loaded with several different vital nutrients, such as Calcium, Potassium, Folate, Vitamin C, Vitamin K & Vitamin A.
One study cites arugula as being particularly high in cancer-fighting agents.
Arugula is high in fiber and phytochemicals, and is low in sugar, calories, carbohydrates, and fat, making it an ideal food for weight-loss.
Unlike many subtler-tasting salad greens, arugula’s highly distinctive and peppery crunch adds flair to salads and other cold dishes. Similarly to parsley, it can be chewed to help combat sour breath!
Arugula’s flowers, seeds, and leaves are all edible.
