Arugula - what is it? (Wikipedia)

2009-06-05T13:06:00.001-04:00

Arugula or rocket is a leaf vegetable, rich in vitamin C and potassium. It has been grown in the Mediterranean area since Roman times, and is considered an aphrodisiac. It has a rich, peppery taste, and has an exceptionally strong flavour for a leafy green. It is generally used in salads but also cooked as a vegetable with pastas or meats. In Italy, it is often used in pizzas, added just before the baking period ends or immediately afterwards, so that it won't wilt in the heat. It is sometimes used as an ingredient in pesto, either in addition to basil or as a (non-traditional) substitute.
Foxbarn grows arugula in Carlisle and it is available for the asking.
