Arugula 'Frastagliata' / 'Suzette'

Product number: 242020
Origin: Mediterranean Region
Latin: Eruca sativa

Italian raw vegetable salad with a touch of heat and a hint of nut... This variety grows quickly and has gracefully toothed leaves. Italians call this type Rucola coltivata. If arugula grows slowly due to heat, sun, and not too much water, the flavour becomes much stronger. This has inspired clever supermarkets to call this "Wasabi-Arugula". So, this is not a special variety, but slowly grown arugula. Be careful, if you overdo the slow cultivation, the plants will bolt.

Names:
Latin: Eruca sativa
Dutch: Rucola
Also known as: Mustard greens, Zwaardherik
English: Salad Rocket

Sowing method: March-September outdoors, sowing a portion repeatedly provides a continuous fresh harvest. They can tolerate some cold. Keep moist in summer to prevent premature bolting. Indoors can be sown year-round. This variety is also grown as microgreens (for the young plant with cotyledons or first true leaves). Microgreens are grown on moisture-retaining material (kitchen roll, cotton wool, soil). Dark and warm for germination, light and cooler after germination.
