Rocket (Arugula)
Vegetables
With its dark green colour and distinctive aroma, rocket is a sought-after salad leaf that goes especially well with meat and fish. It is also used in some soups and in mezes such as haydari and cacık.
Rocket is high in vitamins, and the compounds that give it its characteristic peppery taste are valued for their health benefits. It is also rich in fibre and low in calories, which makes it a frequent choice in weight-loss diets.
