Wild Arugula, Wild Rocket (Eruca vesicaria sativa)
Wild rocket is a main snack in Italian cuisine and is native to Italy. The taste is a little spicier than cultivated Arugula, but it still has a light peppery flavor. It's a fantastic, all-natural seasoning for fresh salads and sandwiches, as well as lightly cooked fish and poultry. Very quick to grow, and the leaves are ready to harvest after just a few weeks.
