Greens

Arugula

This green has a long, lobed leaf that gives a peppery, spicy punch to salads. It is commonly used in the Mediterranean as a seasoning leaf for salads. The flower buds and flowers are also often eaten. Larger, older leaves can be quickly cooked, loosing the bite and adding a nutty flavor.
