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.
