Kitchen Herbs - Heirloom Rustic Arugula

(Diplotaxis tenuifolia)
We import rustic arugula seed from Italy, where cooks prefer its deeply indented, dark green, piquant leaves for savory dishes like pizza or pasta. You’ll find the leaves’ tangy flavor is similar to regular arugula, but more intensely concentrated. The arching, deeply cut, leafy stems also grow more slowly and hold longer in the garden than the common variety. Cut the abundant leaves for months of delicious harvests and enjoy its pretty little yellow flowers as spicy salad garnishes.
