Arugula (Rocket) is a greek leafy plant that we hate to eat! It's bitter and gives an after taste that will kill your appetite. So when we encountered Cyma's ROKA SALATA, we were initially skeptic about the taste. To our surprise, Cyma perfected the combination of Arugula into its salata!
Sharing with you the health benefits of eating Arugula...
Arugula is an excellent source of vitamins A and C, folic acid, calcium, manganese, and magnesium. It's also a very good source of potassium, iron, zinc, riboflavin, and copper.
Arugula and other cruciferous vegetables contain a group of anticancer compounds known as glucosinolates. These compounds exert antioxidant activity, and are potent stimulators of natural detoxifying enzymes in the body.
