Arugula
Arugula is a peppery, leafy green used widely in Mediterranean and Italian cooking as a salad green, pizza topping, or a fresh garnish. It has a distinctive spicy, mustard-like flavor that pairs well with cheeses, citrus, and olive oil. Nutritionally, Arugula is very low in calories and is notable for being a concentrated source of vitamin K — it provides 101ug of vitamin K per 100g — along with modest amounts of protein and fiber. From a health standpoint, Arugula is nutrient-dense and supports bone and blood clotting functions because of its vitamin K content; it also contains glucosinolates and other phytochemicals typical of cruciferous greens that have antioxidant and detoxifying roles.
