Arugula's flavor has been described as peppery, mustardy, and hot with a hint of tartness. It adds such an exciting, interesting flavor to salads. Most often eaten raw in salads but also steamed or added raw to many other dishes such as pizza. Tender baby greens are ready in 20– 28 days, at 2"–4" tall. Also a good container variety.

    We love Epic Gardening at my house. We grow in our Birdies beds, and I start most of my seeds with the 6 and 16 cell trays. All of the seeds I’ve bought from Botanical Interests have great germ rates and grow into healthy plants. Great online store with top notch products, awesome customer support, inspiring and informative videos—I love that I can get all of that from one company. Cheers.

    The scent and taste of the greens, like arugula and basil, are strong. Arugula gives my mouth a little burn. I like it.
