Arugula (Eruca sativa) Seeds

Some nights, the garden is my grocery store. I slip outside in my slippers, clip a handful of arugula leaves, and sneak back into the kitchen like a little herb thief. My favorite way to use them? On top of cheese pizza. It’s simple: hot, melty mozzarella, a fresh handful of arugula, and maybe a drizzle of olive oil if I’m feeling fancy. The peppery bite of the greens turns plain pizza into something that feels homemade... even if it’s from the freezer aisle (I won’t tell if you don’t). There’s something special about growing a topping in your own backyard. It makes the whole slice taste better.
 
About:
Arugula (Eruca vesicaria), also known as garden rocket, is a fast-growing leafy green with a fresh, peppery flavor. It’s easy to grow at home, whether in a garden bed, patio pot, or kitchen window box. Perfect for salads, sandwiches, and pizza toppings, arugula adds a bold, zesty bite to your meals. Harvest young leaves for a milder taste, or let it grow longer for extra spice.
