Eruca vesicaria
Roquette  Salad Rocket

Cruciferae

An essential annual for the vege garden. Can't do without it! The leaf shape varies enormously on the plant from lance shaped to round, but the young leaves add an unmistakable tang to salads. As the plant gets older the tang turns into a more mature 'bite'. It produces a huge quantity of flowers which have much the same qualities as the young leaves. As with most salad greens, it is diuretic, and is also helpful in settling an upset stomach.
