Arugula - Also called rocket, roquette, rugula and rucola, arugula is a bitterish, aromatic salad green with a peppery mustard flavor. Though it has long been extremely popular with Italians, American palates often find its flavor too assertive. Arugula (which resembles radish leaves) can be found in specialty produce markets and in some supermarkets. It's sold in small bunches with roots attached. The leaves should be bright green and fresh looking. Arugula is very perishable and should be tightly wrapped in a plastic bag and refrigerated for no more than 2 days. Its leaves hold a tremendous amount of grit and must be thoroughly washed just before using. Arugula makes a lively addition to salads, soups and sautéed vegetable dishes. It's a rich source of iron as well as vitamins A and C.

Also known as Rocket, Arugula is the most strangely flavored of all greens, possessing a distinctive hot, peppery muddiness that may be an acquired taste. Younger, smaller arugula is milder; old arugula may be far too hot.

Arugula is an herb with lots of vitamins and minerals. This is best mixed in with other greens in salads as it has a sharp bite to it.

Rocket, also known as arugula, garden rocket, rocket salad, rugola, rucola and roquette[1], is a type of leaf vegetable, and although often mistaken for a sort of lettuce, is in fact an herb, being a member of the mustard family. It is rich in vitamin C and iron.

Arugala is a type of lettuce...it's kind of bitter and it has a kick to it. It's nice to have a mix of greens together and then Arugala tastes great that way. Rachel Ray on the Food Network channel makes salads wth Arugala.
