Description of Arugula (Eruca sativa)
Arugula is a leafy green plant known for its rapid growth and distinctive peppery flavor. It is ideal for both garden planting and pot cultivation.
Origin
Native to the Mediterranean region, arugula has been cultivated as a vegetable since ancient times. It is prized in many cultures for its unique flavor and nutritional properties.
Use
Arugula is primarily used in culinary settings, where it is added to salads, pizzas, and other dishes to provide a spicy and fresh flavor. Additionally, it is rich in vitamins and minerals, making it an excellent choice for healthy eating.
Watering
Arugula prefers consistently moist but well-drained soil. It is important to water it regularly, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil slightly moist.
Care
To ensure optimal growth, arugula should be grown in a sunny location, although it can tolerate some shade. The soil should be nutrient-rich; therefore, adding compost or fertilizer before planting is beneficial. Sowing seeds every few weeks ensures a continuous supply of fresh leaves.
Pruning
Arugula should be harvested when the leaves are young and tender, usually six to seven weeks after sowing. Regularly cutting the leaves encourages continuous growth and prevents the plant from flowering, which could affect the flavor of the leaves.
