Arugula
Star of our salads, arugula is a plant that is not only rich in flavor but also in benefits.
Since ancient times, it has been appreciated for its unique flavors and properties.
Let's explore the origins and characteristics of this white-flowered plant in detail!
Where does arugula come from?
Very often, we tend to classify arugula in the large family of salads. Nevertheless, it belongs to the cruciferous family, which includes cabbage, watercress, radishes, and turnips. In fact, it reveals the same subtly mustardy and peppery flavor as its relatives!
Scientifically named Eruca sativa, arugula originates from the Mediterranean basin.
Historically, it has been cultivated for centuries for its distinctively flavored leaves and beneficial properties. During ancient times, the Romans harvested it to add taste and spice to their salads.
But that's not all!
Did you know?💡
Arugula also had symbolic significance. It was associated with Priapus, the god of fertility and gardens. Seeds of arugula were planted at the foot of Priapus' statue to enjoy all its aphrodisiac benefits. Because of this legend, its cultivation was forbidden in monastery gardens.
Botanical Minute 🪴 :
Arugula prefers rich, well-drained soils, growing ideally in temperate regions. In terms of harvest, it reaches its peak flavor in the spring and fall, the times of the year when it is usually picked. Additionally, it is characterized by the shape of its leaves. When crushed, they emit a slightly pungent odor.
Also called “rocket” or “rucola”, this herbaceous plant is now famous in phytotherapy for its benefits, particularly for our hair!
