Arugula (for decoration)

Description

Arugula (for decoration) has a distinct, slightly peppery and nutty flavor with a hint of mustard, and an intense, bright green appearance — its narrow, frilled leaves add elegance and freshness to the plate. Its aroma is pronounced, so even a small portion influences the taste of the dish. It is low in calories, rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as folic acid, minerals such as calcium and iron, and antioxidants that support immunity and bone health. In the kitchen, arugula works well as a decoration and an ingredient in salads, as an addition to sandwiches, pizza, pasta, and soups, pairing perfectly with olive oil, lemon, parmesan, tomatoes, and prosciutto. Store it in the refrigerator at 1–4°C in a breathable container lined with a paper towel, without washing it before storing; use it preferably within 3–5 days and add it just before serving.
