Rucola, also known as arugula or rocket, is a leafy green loved for its peppery, slightly nutty flavor that adds a zesty kick to salads, sandwiches, and pasta dishes. Packed with antioxidants, vitamins A, C, and K, as well as calcium and iron, rucola is not only delicious but also highly nutritious. Its tender leaves make it a versatile ingredient, perfect as a garnish, tossed into fresh salads, or lightly sautéed for warm dishes.
