Ingredient Information
Arugula
Known as Rocket (or Roquette), this is a member of the
same family as cabbages and cresses. Arugula is pungent and spicy with a
slightly peppery flavor. It is an essential ingredient in the Provençal mixed
greens, mesclun.
Shop for arugula that is bright green with a soft texture.
The younger leaves are not as spicy and you might want to avoid very large leaves because they
can be more bitter and tough.
