Arugula can usually be harvested as early as 4 weeks after planting. The leaves of the Arugula plant add a tangy/peppery flavor to any meal. This variety of Arugula is an "easy-to-grow" green. Plant in the spring, and again in the fall. Arugula is one of the easiest leafy greens you can grow.

Arugula is very rich in vitamin C and potassium. It's been referred to as an aphrodisiac, and used commonly as a "leaf vegetable". The young seed pods, flowers, leaves and mature seeds are all edible.

Arugula has been acknowledged by the American Cancer Society because of it's anticancer compounds and all of the antioxidants that it possesses.
