About Fresh ruccola
Fresh ruccola, also known as arugula or rocket, is a leafy green vegetable prized for its peppery, slightly nutty flavor. Native to the Mediterranean region, it has been a culinary staple in Italian, Middle Eastern, and Northern African cuisines for centuries. Packed with nutrients, ruccola is an excellent source of vitamins A, K, and C, and is rich in antioxidants that support immune health and reduce inflammation. It also contains fiber and essential minerals like calcium, potassium, and magnesium, promoting bone health and cardiovascular function. Low in calories and carbohydrates, fresh ruccola fits well into weight management and low-carb diets. However, its oxalate content may be a consideration for individuals prone to kidney stones. Versatile and nutrient-dense, ruccola can be enjoyed raw in salads, blended into pesto, or added as a flavorful garnish to pizza and pasta dishes.
