Salad rocket, roquette, rucola, rugula, colewort. How we ended up calling the delicious green arugula is beyond me? Personally I think salad rocket is a much better name. Salad rocket is actually an herb and has a wonderful peppery taste. It pairs well with sweet citrus, nuts and seeds.
Arugula loaded with antioxidants and is rich in Vitamins A, C and K.
