About Rucolla
Arugula, often referred to as rucola, is a peppery, nutrient-rich leafy green that originates from the Mediterranean region. Popular in Italian cuisine, it’s used in salads, pastas, and pesto for its bold flavor. This cruciferous vegetable is packed with vitamins A, C, and K, which support vision, immune health, and bone strength. It’s also rich in folate and antioxidants, contributing to cellular health and inflammation reduction. Arugula contains calcium and magnesium, promoting strong bones and muscle function. Low in calories and carbohydrates, it’s a heart-healthy choice for weight management and blood sugar stability. Its natural nitrates may also improve blood flow and athletic performance. However, people taking blood-thinning medication should consume it in moderation due to its high vitamin K content. Its sharp taste makes it a versatile ingredient, balancing flavors in both raw and cooked dishes while adding nutritional value.
