Why arugula earns a spot on THE FAD's top 100 anti-inflammatory foods list.
Arugula is a peppery leafy green containing dietary nitrates and glucosinolates, the same general compound family found in broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables.
Arugula's peppery bite mellows when lightly wilted with warm pasta or a hot protein, if the raw flavour is too sharp for you.
