Tips
Great ideas for purchasing, storing, and consuming arugula.
- Look for spinach-green, evenly sized leaves with no holes or yellowing. Avoid arugula with wilted or yellow leaves, as it can be a sign of old produce.
- Make sure the arugula you buy is free of moisture and has a peppery, clean scent.
- Keep arugula in the refrigerator in a plastic bag with holes in it, or wrap it in damp paper towels and then put it in a plastic bag with holes in it. This will keep arugula fresh for up to five days.
- Arugula can be eaten raw or cooked.
- Add finely chopped arugula to salads, soups, and sandwiches at the end of cooking to preserve its color and fresh taste.
