Arugula
1/4 lb bag
Arugula is also known as salad rocket, roquette and rucola. As a member of the mustard or Brassicaceae family, the entire plant exhibits the family’s characteristic peppery bite. The leaves are commonly used as a salad green or herb in fresh sauces such as pesto.
Arugula's nutty, peppery flavor well suited for fresh and lightly cooked applications such as sautéing, blanching, and stir-frying. The greens can be used as a vegetable or an herb, and they can be utilized fresh, added at the end of cooked applications, or lightly cooked to create a milder flavor. The leaves can be tossed fresh into salads, blended into pesto, layered into sandwiches and burgers, or used as an edible bed for roasted meats. Arugula can also be floated on top of soups and stews, used as a topping over pizza, stirred into pasta and rice dishes, used as a spinach substitute for omelets, or served with boiled potatoes.
The deeply lobed leaves will keep 3 to 10 days when wrapped in a paper towel and kept in a plastic bag in the refrigerator's crisper drawer. From - wwwspecialtyproduce.com
