Arugula is an aromatic salad green that is known as rocket, roquette, rugula and rucola, and is popular in Italian cuisine. Like most salad greens, Arugula is very low in calories. A 1/2 cup serving is two calories. Arugula is grown for both it's leaves and the seed. The seed was used for flavoring oils. On another interesting note, Rocket or Arugula seed has been used as an ingredient in aphrodisiac concoctions dating back to the first century, AD. (Cambridge World History of Food). Arugula supplies folate (folic acid) and some calcium (which is unusual in a salad green--for example, arugula has more than eight times as much of this bone-building mineral as iceberg lettuce). A cruciferous vegetable containing cancer-fighting phytochemicals called indoles. High in vitamins A and C it`s dark green color and tart flavor are an indication that it also contains some beta-carotene and vitamin C (more than any other salad green).
