About Arugula lettuce

Arugula, also known as rocket, is a peppery, leafy green vegetable that originates from Mediterranean cuisines, particularly Italian and Middle Eastern dishes. Its distinct flavor adds a zesty flair to salads, pizza toppings, and pasta dishes. Arugula is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, along with essential minerals like calcium, potassium, and magnesium. It is packed with phytonutrients and antioxidants, which contribute to heart health and may help reduce inflammation. Arugula is low in calories and high in dietary fiber, making it an excellent choice for weight management and digestion. Additionally, its nitrates may support improved blood circulation and athletic performance. While arugula is a healthy addition to most diets, individuals prone to kidney stones should moderate intake due to its oxalate content. Vibrant and versatile, arugula is a nutrient-dense powerhouse that elevates both the flavor and healthfulness of a meal.
