$4.00

Arugula microgreens are very young arugula plants, harvested just days after germination and with a fresh, crisp texture. They are cruciferous and closely related to healthy vegetables like broccoli, kale, and radish. Because you usually eat them raw, you can really make the most of their nutritional benefits.

Arugula is known by different names in different parts of the world. These include rucola, garden rocket, roquette, and colewort.

Nutrients and flavor

When it comes to arugula microgreens, everything is intensified. This means they have a spicy, peppery taste very much like mature arugula – but stronger. And they also contain the same nutrients – but more of them. This is because they are harvested so early in their growth cycle. The main advantage of this is that we can eat a small quantity of arugula microgreens yet still reap all the nutritional benefits of a larger quantity of mature leaves. This is good news if you struggle to include enough fresh veggies in your diet. A handful of arugula microgreens is packed with goodness, and very easy to pop into a sandwich or mix into a salad. They are one of the most flavorful and most popular microgreens!

Health Benefits

With arugula microgreens, you get all the health benefits of cruciferous vegetables in a very concentrated form! Indeed, studies have shown that microgreens generally contain anywhere from 4 to 40 times the nutrients of their mature counterparts.
