About Arugula
Arugula, also known as rocket or rucola, is a leafy green vegetable popular in Mediterranean cuisine. Native to the Mediterranean region, it boasts a peppery, slightly bitter flavor that adds depth to salads, pasta, and pizza. Arugula is low in calories yet packed with essential nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and K, as well as calcium, potassium, and antioxidants. These nutrients contribute to bone health, boost immunity, and support skin health. It contains dietary nitrates, which can promote heart health by improving blood flow and reducing blood pressure. Arugula is also rich in fiber, aiding digestion and maintaining cholesterol levels. While generally healthy, individuals prone to oxalate-related kidney stones might limit their intake, as arugula contains natural oxalates. Its vibrant taste and nutrient profile make it a versatile and beneficial addition to any diet.
