ARUGULA
Good Stuff to Know:
Arugula gets 'spicier' as it grows - and also is dependent on the time of year and temperatures during its life. During the cool spring and fall, arugula will much milder and more appetizing in salads. In mid-summer and when arugula is bigger, you may want to saute it to mellow it out a bit.
Storage Tips
Arugula, like most greens, should be used up quickly. You can store it in your fridge, in a plastic bag for 5-7 days..
