Arugula

Arugula is a cool-season leafy green that is often added to salads, sandwiches, stir-fries and egg dishes. The entire plant is edible, including the flowers and seed pods. It has a strong peppery flavor.

Arugula is a member of the brassica family. According to Anthony William, it has powerful phytochemicals that heal the thyroid.

Arugula can be sown every 2-3 weeks to prolong the harvest. It tastes best in cool weather.

Also known as Common Arugula, Salad Rocket, Rucola, Meditteranean Rocket, and Eruca vesicaria subsp. sativa.
