Wild Arugula
This wild relative of cultivated arugula has deeply serrated leaves and an intense dark green colour. In addition to its rich appearance, it is its taste that sets it apart, which is coveted by top chefs, food lovers, and specialty growers all over the world. First there is its spicy fragrance each tender leaf exudes after being picked. This is followed by a slight bitterness and explosion of heat and flavour we like to describe as a bold, assertive, and peppery. Wild arugula is best enjoyed raw or slightly wilted to appreciate its depth of flavour.
Wild Arugula grows slower than regular arugula, though makes up for this with better heat and cold tolerance compared to traditional cultivated arugula. Enjoy it in pastas, salads, and pizzas, and more. Arugula is low in calories, rich in antioxidants, and an excellent source of vitamin A, B-vitamins, vitamin C, and vitamin K.

Historically, calendula has long history of being used to heal wounds, as an antiviral and as an anti-inflammatory product in tinctures, creams, teas, and ingested orally.
