About Rucola

Rucola, also known as arugula or rocket, is a leafy green vegetable with a peppery, slightly bitter flavor. Native to the Mediterranean region, it is a staple in Italian cuisine and widely used in salads, pasta, and pizzas. Rich in nutrients, rucola is an excellent source of vitamin K, vitamin C, and folate. It also contains calcium, potassium, and antioxidants that help combat inflammation and support bone health. With its low calorie and fat content, rucola is a healthy addition to most diets. Its high fiber content aids digestion, while its sulfur compounds may support detoxification. However, individuals on blood thinners should monitor their intake due to its vitamin K content. Whether served raw or lightly cooked, rucola is a flavorful and nutritious choice to enhance your meals.
