About Rocket leaf

Rocket leaf, also known as arugula, is a peppery, nutrient-dense leafy green commonly used in Mediterranean and Italian cuisines. Recognized for its distinct, slightly bitter taste, it serves as a flavorful addition to salads, pizzas, pastas, and sandwiches. Packed with vitamins A, C, and K, along with essential minerals like calcium, potassium, and magnesium, rocket leaf supports bone health, immune function, and heart health. It is also rich in antioxidants and phytonutrients that help reduce inflammation and combat free radical damage. Low in calories and carbohydrates, it’s an excellent choice for weight-conscious diets. However, due to its natural spice and bitterness, those with sensitive palates may prefer it in combination with milder greens. Rocket leaf is a versatile, health-boosting ingredient, perfect for adding both nutrition and zest to everyday dishes.
