The Benefits of Arugala

Rocket, also known as arugula, garden rocket, rocket salad, rugola, rucola and roquette, is a type of leaf vegetable, and although often mistaken for a sort of lettuce, is in fact a herb; a member of the mustard family. It is rich in vitamin C and iron.
Rocket has been grown as a vegetable in the Mediterranean area since Roman times, and was considered an aphrodisiac. Before the 1990s it was usually collected in the wild and was not cultivated on a large scale and not scientifically researched until the 1990s. Arugula cultivation is prominent in parts of India, North Africa, Italy and is presently becoming an industrial crop in the United States.
