About Rucula

Arugula, often called rocket or rucula, is a nutrient-dense leafy green originating from the Mediterranean region. Known for its peppery, slightly bitter flavor, it's commonly used in Italian cuisine, salads, and garnishes. Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, arugula supports immune health, bone strength, and skin vitality. It's also a good source of folate, calcium, and potassium, which aid in maintaining heart health and proper muscle function. Packed with antioxidants and phytochemicals, it may contribute to reducing inflammation and protecting against chronic diseases. Arugula is low in calories and offers fiber for digestion, making it a healthy addition to a balanced diet. However, individuals taking blood-thinning medications may need to monitor their intake due to its high vitamin K content. Whether raw or lightly cooked, arugula’s vibrant flavor and health benefits make it a versatile and nutritious choice.
