Arugula extract Eruca Sativa (Rocket) is a deservedly popular culinary herb. These biennial plants are natives of Italy, but are found throughout most of Central and Mediterranean Europe, and in Britain and Russian Asia as escapes from gardens. The leaves are very acrid in taste, and in many countries, especially in Germany, they are eaten like cress in salads. In the language of flowers, the Rocket has been taken to represent deceit, since it gives out a lovely perfume in the evening, but in the daytime has none. For eating purposes, the plant should be gathered before flowering, but for medicinal use, when in flower. This herb is ever growing in popularity, is tasty, nutritious and should be regarded as a classic herb and not subject to culinary trends.
