I became a lover of arugula after growing it for the first time this year. I thought, hmmm if you can get past the funky smell it gives off growing it then you can eat it. I tried it at the advise of a dear friend of mine who said arugula is packed with vitamins and is so good for you. It is crunchy and it has a “hint” of spice (hardly noticeable). I rinse it once in a colander and refrigerate and it stays so fresh and crunchy for a good 10 days or more (I do cover the colander with tinfoil). I mix with my lettuces or I eat alone as a salad. It is granddaughter approved as well!
