It is frequently used in salads, often mixed with other greens in a mesclun. It is also used raw with pasta or meats in northern Italy and in western Slovenia. Grown as an edible herb in the Mediterranean area since Roman times, it was mentioned by various classical authors as an aphrodisiac, for this reason during the Middle Ages it was forbidden to grow rocket in monasteries. We rely heavily on arugula, since its a quick growing Miami friendly tender green with a nice spicy flavor that remains pleasant after flowering. Allow plants to mature by spacing them appropriately for stronger flavor and heartier leaves, or direct sow close together in rows and harvest young for salad leaves. If grown this way plants will regrow a few times before needing to be reseeded.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Little River Cooperative","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32766167777362,"sku":"SEED021","price":4.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0535\/4461\/products\/SESE-arugula.jpg?v=1631041220","url":"https:\/\/littlerivernursery.co\/products\/arugula-seed-packet","provider":"Little River Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
