Why it's on this list

Arugula is a peppery leafy green containing dietary nitrates and glucosinolates, the same general compound family found in broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables.

How to use it

Arugula's peppery bite mellows when lightly wilted with warm pasta or a hot protein, if the raw flavour is too sharp for you.
