Always pick the bright dark green rocket when buy fresh from your local market. You should always be your arugula, store in an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to five days. It is delicious in salads, sauces such as a pesto, add it to a stir fry, scrammed eggs or even in a sweet potato mash.
Rocket is so simple to prepare, pick the dark green, rinse, dry and its ready for you to benefit not just from its nutritional property but its delicious taste. I love to chop rocket up and add it to a pasta dish, but you could also use it in a salad, make a sauce or a pesto. You can find some delicious and nutritional recipes in all my recipe books take a look at
