Grow Greens Indoors: Amazing Tips for Planting Arugula

Welcome to the post about arugula, a super nutritious green-leafy vegetable commonly known as salad rocket or garden rocket. A big bowl of micro greens with a supersonic offer of vitamins and minerals can hardly go by without having arugula as one of its PR’s. Native to the Mediterranean region, arugula is one of my prime indoors planting options and kitchen cooking choices. As for some tips about how to grow arugula indoors, get yourself ready because here they come!     

Arugula is an Excellent Source of Vitamins A, B, C and E

Tips for Growing Arugula

I always start by purchasing quality arugula seeds. As with all my micro greens, once I get the seeds I fill the pot to the top with potting mix and sprinkle the seeds over it watching that they don’t touch each other.

My secret move hides in sieving a thin layer of soil above the seeds. As soon as I’m done with that step, I place the pot on a sunny windowsill and water it daily to keep the soil moist.          

Arugula Will Skyrocket Your Health

One possible explanation for arugula’s nickname is that it’s virtually packed with vitamins and minerals such as vitamin A, B, C and K, plus minerals calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, copper and iron.

Salad rocket also contains all essential amino acids and is famous for its nutty, zesty flavor. In fact, arugula is one of the most essential flavor additions to any sprout kitchen, and a major ingredient in all of my mesclun and baby salad mixes.

Grow it. Eat it. Enjoy it!
