(Modern science does not, of course, confirm this, but it's a story worth telling.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNative to the Mediterranean basin and more specifically to the Italian peninsula, arugula (\u003cem\u003erucola\u003c\/em\u003e or \u003cem\u003erughetta\u003c\/em\u003e in Italian, \u003cem\u003erocket\u003c\/em\u003e in British English, \u003cem\u003earugula\u003c\/em\u003e in American English — linguistic variations that mark a later, more fragmented European spread than other aromatics) belongs to the great Brassica family, already well represented in our pages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a sprout and microgreen: small, distinctly lobed leaves (the signature of mature arugula, recognizable at first glance) on fine green-white stems sometimes tinged purple at the base. Concentrated classic arugula flavour: pungent, peppery, distinctively nutty, with a slightly bitter note — a unique aromatic signature that doesn't resemble any other Brassica already described (brown, yellow or wasabi mustards are more mustardy; broccoli is milder; red cabbage sweeter). Probably the most universally loved sprout in the family. Tender, fine texture — the mature version in miniature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse: anywhere mature arugula would shine, but in concentrated mode. On pizza margherita after baking, on pasta with pesto, on a gourmet burger, on a prosciutto-and-cheese sandwich, on a caprese salad, on \u003cem\u003ebruschetta\u003c\/em\u003e, or as a crown on a grilled steak drizzled with reduced balsamic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep in mind: arugula microgreens lose their aromas within days of harvest — pick them when you're ready to use them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoaking: not required (small seeds); optional 4-6 hours.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGermination time: 2-3 days.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSprout harvest: 4-6 days after soaking begins.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrogreen harvest: 8-12 days after sowing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYield: about 1 tsp of seeds produces a 20 × 20 cm tray of microgreens.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBest uses: pizza, Italian pasta, gourmet sandwich, Mediterranean finishes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Joual Vert","offers":[{"title":"100g","offer_id":38053824659628,"sku":"GC-O-ARU-100G","price":14.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g","offer_id":38053824692396,"sku":"GC-O-ARU-500G","price":59.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg","offer_id":38053824725164,"sku":"GC-O-ARU-1KG","price":99.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0532\/1388\/8684\/products\/arugulam_d03a9078-951c-4cb1-a607-4f6ffc293ab1.jpg?v=1698701185","url":"https:\/\/joualvert.ca\/en\/products\/arugula-sprouting-microgreen-seeds","provider":"Joual Vert","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
