Arugula

EverydayFresh

Arugula (also called rocket) is a peppery, slightly bitter leafy green belonging to the Brassicaceae family alongside kale and broccoli. This nutrient-dense green provides significant vitamin K and calcium in low calories, while its distinctive flavor profile makes it popular both raw in salads and lightly cooked in dishes like pizzas or pastas. As a cruciferous vegetable, it contains beneficial phytochemicals and fits vegan, keto, and low-carb dietary patterns.
