Looking to add a little kick to your salads or meals? Look no further than Eruca vesicaria ssp. sativa, also known as Arugula, Garden Rocket, and Rocketsalad. This annual plant is native to the Mediterranean region and is closely related to Eruca vesicaria. Arugula grows up to 36 inches tall and produces deeply pinnately lobed leaves with a distinct peppery flavor. It blooms from May to August, producing creamy white flowers with purple veins that attract insects for pollination. Arugula prefers well-drained soil and can tolerate drought, making it an ideal addition to gardens and culinary recipes. Pick young leaves for a mild flavor, or let the older leaves develop their signature bold taste. Try steaming or cooking arugula as you would spinach for a delicious twist to your favorite dishes.
