What is it?<\/strong> When I think arugula, I think leafy green with a peppery taste. And that’s true. But more accurately, it’s a cruciferous veggie that’s been dubbed a superior salad green. Arugula is in the same family as broccoli, brussels\u00a0sprouts and kale<\/a><\/strong>. And compared to iceberg lettuce, arugula – also known as rocket or rucola –\u00a0 has 70% more calcium, 50% more magnesium, 60% more beta-carotene, and 60% more Vitamin A. Now that’s one seriously nutrient-packed green.<\/p>\n

Health benefits:<\/strong> Arugula is an excellent source of folate, a B Vitamin that supports the health of red blood cells and helps with energy production. A 2-cup serving contains plenty of Vitamin K and Vitamin A, and is a plant-based source of iron, making it an incredibly healthy nutrient option for vegans.<\/p>\n

Nutritional statistics:<\/strong> 1 cup of arugula has approximately 5 calories, .1 grams of fat, 5 mg of sodium, .7 grams of carbohydrates, .3 grams of dietary fiber, .4 grams of sugar, .5 grams of protein, 32 mg of calcium, and 73.8 mg of potassium.<\/p>\n
