Arugula, also known as rocket or rucola, is a peppery, flavorful leafy green native to the Mediterranean region. Often used in Italian cuisine, it adds a zesty kick to salads, pastas, and pizzas. Rich in vitamins A, K, and C, arugula supports immune health, bone strength, and skin vitality. It also provides folate, calcium, and potassium, essential for heart health and muscle function. Packed with antioxidants, arugula helps combat inflammation and oxidative stress. Its natural nitrates may help improve blood flow and cardiovascular performance. Being low in calories and high in fiber, it’s an excellent choice for weight management. However, for those prone to kidney stones, its oxalate content may be worth noting. Whether fresh or lightly wilted, arugula is a nutrient-dense addition to any meal, celebrated for both its health benefits and bold taste.
