Sprouts/Microgreens - Arugula (seeds)

 Arugula microgreens are a delightful addition to your home garden. Let’s dive into the details:
 
Arugula Microgreens Overview
Arugula microgreens are very young arugula plants, harvested just days after germination. They have a fresh, crisp texture and are closely related to healthy vegetables like broccoli, kale, and radish. Because you usually eat them raw, you can make the most of their nutritional benefits. Arugula is known by different names in various parts of the world, including rucola, garden rocket, roquette, and colewort.
 
Arugula Microgreens vs. Arugula Sprouts
Arugula microgreens are not the same as arugula sprouts. Sprouts are seeds that have just germinated and are eaten before they develop leaves. Microgreens are grown in soil and are complete plants, with leaves, stems, and roots.
 
Nutrients and Flavor
Arugula microgreens have an intensified flavor – spicy and peppery, much like mature arugula but stronger. They contain the same nutrients as mature arugula but in higher concentrations. Harvesting them early in their growth cycle allows us to enjoy all the nutritional benefits in a small quantity.
 
Benefits of Growing Your Own
Finding arugula microgreens at the grocery store isn’t always easy, and their freshness isn’t guaranteed. Growing them at home ensures a consistent supply of fresh microgreens. Arugula microgreens are exceptionally easy to grow, taking less than 10 days from seed to harvest. Plus, it’s better for the environment!
 
So, get your gardening gloves on, sow those arugula seeds, and enjoy the zesty goodness of homegrown microgreens!
