Arugula, also known as rocket or roquette, is a nutrient-dense leafy green native to the Mediterranean region and widely used in Italian and Middle Eastern cuisines. Its distinct peppery flavor lends itself to salads, sandwiches, and pastas. Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, arugula supports immune function and bone health. It also contains folate, calcium, and potassium, essential for overall wellness. Packed with antioxidants and glucosinolates, arugula may contribute to reducing inflammation and supporting detoxification in the body. Low in calories and carbohydrates, this green is an excellent choice for weight management. While arugula is generally healthy, individuals with sensitivity to oxalates or on blood-thinning medication should consume it in moderation due to its vitamin K content. Whether served fresh or lightly wilted, arugula is a versatile and flavorful addition to a balanced diet.
