Arugula

Description

Arugula, also known as rocket, is a leafy green with a distinct peppery flavor and impressive nutritional value. It is low in calories but rich in vitamins A, K, and C, along with calcium, potassium, and folate. These nutrients support vision, bone health, immune function, and heart health. Arugula also contains glucosinolates—natural compounds that may help reduce inflammation and lower cancer risk. Its fiber aids digestion, while antioxidants protect cells from damage. With high water content, arugula supports hydration and skin health. Commonly used in salads, sandwiches, and pasta, arugula adds both zesty flavor and health benefits to meals.
