CLINICAL AYURVEDIC REVIEWCooking ArugulaArugula is a peppery, bitter green you often see added to salads or used to accent or "wake up" a heavy dish. It may be used to garnish risotto, a gourmet pizza or added to a salmon sandwich. The sharp, peppery taste of arugula needs to be balanced by a creamy dressing (coconut, ginger, lime) if used as the main ingredient in a salad.

Is this another term for Rocket?
Arugula is not an ideal choice for someone with aggravated Vata. To make it more Vata pacifying, cook it lightly in ghee.
Yes,aka rocket!
