Description:
Eruca vesicaria, commonly known as wild arugula, is a perennial herb with a stronger, more complex peppery flavor compared to common arugula. It is high in vitamin C and potassium and can be grown indoors year-round. This plant is native to the Mediterranean region and is used as a leaf vegetable in salads and pasta dishes. It grows to about 8 to 40 inches tall and produces creamy white flowers with purple veins. Wild arugula is known for its resilience in dry, disturbed ground and is a rich source of nutrients, making it a valuable addition to any kitchen garden.
