ARUGULA - Italian Cress Eruca vesicaria var. sativa

ARUGULA – Italian Cress

$2.95

Wild, sharp flavor for authentic Italian cuisine

Italian rocket looks very like regular rocket and is as easy to grow, but the leaves are more elongated and darker-green. It’s a little slower to take off, but still grows vigorously. In Italy, the leaves are often added to food just before its ready so that the leaves are warmed, but not wilted. By all means, use it in salads, but feel free to add it to Pizzas just before they come out the oven.
