Description

‘Rocket Salad’ or ‘Cultivated’ Rocket is a classic salad rocket, also known as arugula. It  has beautiful oakleaf type leaves, typically found in salad mixes, the rounded leaves gives a salad an attractive, three-dimensional texture.

Used fresh, salad rocket adds a peppery note to salads, this aromatic salad green is ideal as a bed for seafood but also makes a wonderful salad on its own.

Cooked lightly it can be added to stir-fries, it also makes a delicious spinach substitute.

After the plants flower, the leaves can still be used but taste is sharper. The flowers are also edible.
