Not everyone knows what happens to our body after eating arugula! Check it out…

Typically eaten raw in salads, arugula pairs nicely with Parmesan, radicchio, and cherry tomatoes.

It can also be lightly sautéed or added to pasta. To make a detox tea, steep 5 grams of arugula leaves in hot water for about 10 minutes.

Storage Suggestions

Keep washed and dried arugula in a paper bag inside the refrigerator, and try to consume it within 4 to 5 days for optimal freshness.

Precautions

Generally safe, arugula should be eaten in moderation—no more than two handfuls per day.

Excessive consumption may affect thyroid function or interact with blood-thinning medications due to its vitamin K and isothiocyanate content.
