About Arugula, raw
Raw arugula is peppery, slightly bitter, and far more flavorful than its low calorie count suggests. Protein is surprisingly high for a salad green, fat is minimal, and it contributes fiber and folate. The peppery bite comes from glucosinolates, the same compounds found in other brassicas. Use as a salad base, add to pizza right after baking, or wilt briefly into pasta. Dressed lightly with lemon and olive oil, it needs very little else.
