Arugula

Over the past few years, we have increasingly heard about such little-known greens as Arugula. In our country, until some time it was considered a weed, but European cuisine has made its own adjustments and today arugula is actively used to prepare many salads. In this section we will tell you how to grow this useful plant in the garden.

Depending on the type of soil, arugula seeds are planted at a depth of 1-2 cm and covered with film. The latter is removed immediately after emergence (about a week). After 14 days, the greens can be used to decorate dishes. The plant can withstand frosts down to -6 C, so it can be grown from spring to autumn. Caring for growing arugula is usual: watering, removing weeds and loosening the rows. You will find other nuances within this section.

Every doctor knows what beneficial properties arugula has. Among them, it is worth noting a large amount of vitamin C, iodine, cholesterol-lowering substances, and substances that improve metabolism. That is why Europeans, striving for a healthy diet, love this greenery so much and use it everywhere.
