Arugula Blossoms Are Edible
Arugula blossoms are a colorful addition to green salads and savory dishes. They pair well with both leafy greens and cheeses, like brie, goat cheese, and blue cheese. They can also be pressed into cheeses and rolled into spring rolls or used to garnish pizzas and flatbreads. The flowers have a peppery taste that can add a kick to salads and other savory dishes. They are also sweeter than the leaves and can provide a unique flavor that complements savory foods. Chefs love using edible flowers to add a pop of color to their dishes and they can even be used to replace herbs or spices.
Arugula tango florist is a cool-weather annual that can be grown year-round in temperate climates. Its relative ease of growing and tolerance of frost make it popular with home gardeners. Arugula can be sown directly into the ground or planted in seed packets and grown as an annual. If you want to delay arugula’s flowering, try planting it in an area that receives shade or under plants that can protect it from direct sunlight.
They Are Available Year-Round
Modern eaters have developed a taste for arugula in the last two decades, but this peppery green has been around for thousands of years. The peppery leaves are a staple in salads, and their flowers and seed pods are also edible. Arugula is a cool season crop that grows best in spring and fall. The leaves are a good complement to other salad greens, such as radishes or kohlrabi. It is also an excellent garnish for soups and stews.
Perennial arugula (Eruca sativa) is also called rocket or wall rocket because it easily reseeds itself. The seeds are also edible and can add an interesting crunch to salads. Perennial arugula plants are hardy in the garden and grow quickly. They can be planted amongst blooming Johnny-jump-ups, sky blue pansies, or tulips without shading them out. Perennial arugula is a good substitute for baby spinach or romaine lettuce in mixed mesclun plantings. You can also mix it with chives or scallions for flavor and texture contrast.
They Are Easy To Grow
The arugula plant, also known as garden rocket or salad rocket, is easy to grow in the vegetable garden or in containers. It likes cool temperatures and can tolerate light frost. It can be started from seed or purchased live at many garden centers. It is a fast-growing, cool season green that can be harvested as soon as the plants are 4-6 inches tall.
It is best to plant arugula 12-18 inches apart in rich, well-draining soil. Mix in compost to improve nutrition and texture. Arugula needs regular watering but does not like to be over-watered. Water in the morning or evening, allowing the top inch of the soil to dry between irrigations. Use a balanced blend of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium (NPK numbers should be equal). As the summer heats up, arugula will begin to flower and produce seeds. To keep the flavor fresh, remove the flowers before they mature. The arugula leaves will still taste good after the flowers fade, and the stems can be used in salads.
They Are Versatile
Arugula is tolerant of drought and heat, but it may bolt (flower and go to seed) when it feels stressed. To prevent this, it is a good idea to water it often and feed it with a liquid fertilizer like fish emulsion. Both perennial and annual arugula are relatively pest-resistant, although flea beetles and aphids may be a problem. Infestations can be prevented by using floating row covers or spraying plants with diatomaceous earth. However, persistent use of pesticides can reduce the yield of both annual and perennial arugula.
Arugula is an extremely nutritious leafy green vegetable. It contains a significant amount of vitamin A, C, and K, as well as calcium and potassium. It is also low in calories and helps with weight loss and eye health. In addition, dietary nitrates in arugula can promote cardiovascular health and reduce blood pressure.
