Arugula Microgreens

Microgreen

Eruca sativa

Overview
Arugula microgreens are delicate, tender seedlings featuring deeply lobed, emerald-green leaves with a distinctive peppery bite. Ready to harvest in 10-15 days, they develop their signature intensely spicy, nutty flavor profile while remaining at the microgreen stage. These heirloom varieties offer a concentrated version of mature arugula's peppery notes, making them ideal for garnishing salads, sandwiches, and upscale dishes. The microgreen format provides nutrient density and visual appeal in minimal space, thriving under moderate light or grow lights. Easy to cultivate in seed starting mix or coconut coir, they're an excellent choice for home growers seeking quick, flavorful greens with minimal pest concerns.
