About This Item
Arugula is easy to grow and grows fast as a microgreen. It's a favorite and generally considered a staple of the spicier side of microgreens and baby salad greens. The peppery taste gets less intense as it grows bigger. Arugula is also called roquette, salad rocket, and garden rocket.
Cut in 20 days for baby leaf, or grow it for 40 days to harvest mature leaves. Dark green leaves grow in loose heads and have their best flavor when they are 2-3" long. Sow Arugula seeds every three weeks for a continuous harvest.
Eruca Sativa grows 4 - 10 inches in height and has four-petaled, white, purple-veined flowers top its flower stalks. It is rich in: Vitamins A, C, E, Calcium, Iron, Phosphorus, Lutein, Beta-carotene, Antioxidants
Sow Arugula seeds directly outdoors. These herb seeds germinate quickly even in cold soil, so sow roquette herb seeds as soon as soil can be worked in spring. After the seedlings are large enough to handle, you will want to thin them out to 9 - 12 inches apart. To harvest simply pick the young leaves and the plant will keep generating new ones for months.
As the flower buds appear pinch them out to prolong growing season. Eruca Sativa herb plants are very low in calories (only about 2 calories per 1/2 cup) and very high in Vitamins A and C. To store Arugula rinse the leaves in cool water and dry on paper toweling. Wrap leaves tightly in plastic or a zip lock bag. Best if used within two days.
