Arugula - Seeds
Latin name: Eruca sativa
The raw, tender and sweet young arugula leaves are used in salads, alone or with other leafy greens and are an essential part of any mesclun mix. Cooked, arugula spices up sauces and soups. Italians love it with pasta, after slightly heating in olive oil. Plants reach 20 to 30 cm in height, grow in fertile and cool soil and are very hardy. Harvest by cutting the leaves at ground level, as needed. Edible flowers, spicy flavour.
