About Ruccola
Ruccola, also known as arugula, is a leafy green vegetable widely recognized for its peppery flavor and tender texture. Native to the Mediterranean region, it is a staple in Italian cuisine, often featured in salads, pasta dishes, and pizzas. Rich in essential nutrients, ruccola is an excellent source of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as folate, calcium, and potassium. Its high antioxidant content helps combat inflammation and supports overall immune health. Additionally, ruccola is low in calories, making it an ideal choice for weight management. The vegetable also contains glucosinolates, plant compounds linked to cancer prevention. While generally considered healthy, individuals with kidney conditions should monitor their intake due to its moderate oxalate content. Whether eaten raw or lightly sautéed, ruccola is a versatile and nutritious addition to a balanced diet.
