Large Leaf Arugula Seeds | Eruca sativa | Edible Culinary Garden Leaf Vegetable

Overview
Large Leaf Arugula (Eruca sativa) is a cool-season, fast-growing leafy green prized for its broad, fleshy, and tender leaves with a delicate, refreshing aroma. Compared to wild, narrow-leaf varieties, this cultivar offers a much milder flavor with subtle nutty notes and a gentle peppery kick – creating a well-balanced taste that has made it an indispensable ingredient in Western salads and cuisine. Growth is exceptionally quick, with harvestable baby leaves ready just weeks after sowing. With a cut-and-come-again harvesting method, you can enjoy multiple continuous harvests, ensuring a constant supply of fresh greens for your kitchen.

Key Features
• Broad, fleshy, and tender leaves with an excellent, succulent texture
• Mild, refreshing aroma with a subtle peppery, nutty flavor that appeals to a wide range of palates
• Fast-growing, particularly vigorous during the cooler seasons

Cultivation Guidelines
• Light: Prefers full sun to partial shade; in cool seasons, ample sunlight promotes vigorous growth
• Soil: Choose loose, fertile, well-aerated, and well-drained soil for optimal results
• Watering: Keep soil evenly moist but avoid waterlogging; regular watering encourages tender growth and helps prevent bitterness
• Temperature: Prefers cool climates; high temperatures can cause bolting and make leaves taste bitter
• Harvesting: Baby leaves can be harvested 3–4 weeks after sowing; for mature plants, pick outer leaves while allowing inner leaves to continue growing
