About Wild arugula

Wild arugula, also known as "rocket," is a leafy green vegetable with a distinct peppery taste. Native to the Mediterranean region, it has a rich history in Italian and Middle Eastern cuisines, where it's often used in salads, pastas, and topped on pizzas. This nutrient-dense green is packed with vitamins A, C, and K, which support vision, immune health, and bone strength. It's also a good source of antioxidants and minerals like calcium and potassium, promoting heart health and balanced electrolytes. Wild arugula is low in calories but high in fiber, making it ideal for weight management and digestive health. Its bold flavor pairs well with citrus, olive oil, and creamy cheeses, offering versatility in cooking. However, individuals with kidney issues should moderate their intake due to its oxalate content. Overall, wild arugula is a vibrant, nutritious addition to a balanced diet.
