Wild Rocket
Eruca sativa L. (Rucola -
Italian) Also called Arugula. Native to southern Europe, wild rocket has been grown as a vegetable in the Mediterranean since Roman times and was considered an aphrodisiac. Its distinct aromatic and pungent flavour is described by some as nutty. It certainly gives your tastebuds a zing! Wild rocket is rich in vitamin C and iron. Use it in pesto as a substitute to basil or to top a pizza. Great as a salad. Available year round, with a peak growing period from spring to autumn.
