There are two types of rocket leaves or also called as arugula which popular nowadays, they are the cultivated one Eruca sativa and Diplotaxis tenuifolia or known as wild rocket. They both belong to the same family as cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower. Wild rocket contains a range of health-promoting properties such as phytochemicals including Vitamin C, carotenoids, dietary fibre, magnesium, calcium, potassium, Vitamin K, polyphenols and glucosinolates. Wild rocket leaves have a pungent and peppery flavor and make for the perfect ingredients in salads, pizza toppings and other cooked culinary purposes. They are helpful in reducing cholesterol and risk of heart diseases. They also help prevent diabetes, osteoporosis, cancer and obesity.
