eruca sativa
Looks like a long leaved open headed lettuce
This very useful salad plant is popular with today’s chefs
Widely used raw in salads or is sometimes cooked lightly as a delicious spinach substitute.
It has a rich, peppery taste, and has an exceptionally strong flavour for a leafy green.
In addition to the leaves, the flowers are often used in salads as an edible garnish,
The young seed pods and mature seeds are all edible.
Pick the young leaves as required over the whole row rather than just one or two plants as this would weaken them. As the flower buds appear pinch them out to prolong cropping.
Rocket is rich in vitamin C and potassium
Late summer sowings of Rocket will carry on cropping into the winter if the plants are grown with a little protection
