About Rocket lettuce

Rocket lettuce, also known as arugula, is a leafy green with a distinct, peppery flavor often used in Mediterranean and Italian cuisines. Native to Southern Europe, this nutrient-packed vegetable boasts an array of health benefits. It is rich in vitamins K, A, and C, which support immune function, bone health, and eye health. Rocket lettuce also contains antioxidants and essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Low in calories but high in fiber, it aids digestion and promotes weight management. Its slightly sharp taste makes it a versatile addition to salads, pizzas, pastas, and sandwiches. Although generally healthy, some people may need to moderate consumption due to its high vitamin K content, which can interfere with blood-thinning medications. Overall, rocket lettuce is a delicious and nutrient-dense choice for enhancing your meals and supporting a balanced diet.
