Arugula is a mustard green with an unmistakable tangy but mild flavor. It also known as Rocket, Mediterranean Salad, Rucola or Roquette and is popular in Italian cuisine. The Romans grew arugula for both its seeds and leaves. The seed was used to flavor oils and a typical Roman meal would have included a salad containing arugula, romaine, chicory, mallow, and lavender. Arugula does well as a cutting green and is often included in mixes of salad greens.
