Current Facts
Hydroponic arugula is greenhouse grown directly in water and arrives alive, its roots still in tact with the nutrients it was provided with for livelihood.
Description/Taste
Hydroponic arugula is more delicate in texture, flavor and appearance than rocket and wild arugula, however it has more succulent and nutrient dense leaves. The plants yield more consistent harvests because of their controlled growing environments. Roots are not forced to search through soil for nutrients and water allowing the plants to grow faster, larger and healthier.
Applications
Use hydroponic arugula as you would standard arugula: as a salad green, add to sauces, pestos and finish pizzas and baked savory dishes.
Geography/History
Hydroponic, the word, is derived from two Greek words, "hydro" meaning water and "ponics" meaning labor. Practiced for thousands of years, two well-known hydroponic locations in early civilizations are the Floating Gardens of China and the ancient hanging Gardens of Babylon. It was in the 1950s when scientists took a modern approach to the soil-less method of gardening and researching hydroponics benefits.
