Passionate for plants..especially edible ones. Vegetable and herbs of all kinds find there way into my kitchen. The produce section, farmers market, is a world of color, shape, aroma and texture. Explore along with me as I experiment, ponder, taste and savor the foods of a vegetable lifestyle. I love having a herb and vegetable garden... and encourage anyone with a bit of land or a pot to try. Of course, these days you can't think of food or farming without considering being green or eco.

It's arugula!



Arugula

Arugula is an aromatic salad green. It is also known as rocket, rocket salad, roquette, rugula and rucola, and is popular in Italian cuisine.  
Like most salad greens, Arugula is very low in calories and is high in vitamins A and C. 

A 1/2 cup serving is two calories.
