Eruca Vesicaria
Rocket, also known as arugula, is an herb that is popular in Mediterranean cuisine. It has small, elongated leaves that are dark green and slightly pungent in flavor. Rocket is known for its peppery taste, which becomes more pronounced as the leaves mature.
Rocket is a good source of vitamins A and C, as well as calcium and iron. It is low in calories and high in fiber, making it a nutritious addition to a healthy diet.
Rocket is a versatile herb that can be used in many different dishes. It is often used in salads, either on its own or mixed with other greens. It can also be used as a garnish for pizzas and sandwiches, or added to pasta dishes, soups, and sauces for a peppery kick.
Rocket is easy to grow and can be grown in both garden beds and containers. It prefers cool temperatures and can be grown in both the spring and fall. Rocket seeds can be sown directly in the soil, or seedlings can be transplanted for faster results. With regular watering and fertilization, rocket plants can produce a steady supply of fresh leaves for several weeks.
