Eruca sativa — larger leaves, milder than wild rocket. Fast growing — ready in 4 weeks.
Flavour
This cultivated rocket offers a milder, less peppery flavour than wild varieties, with subtle nutty undertones and a fresh, clean finish.
In the kitchen
Ideal for topping grilled meats or adding fresh brightness to smoky BBQ dishes, it wilts quickly over heat, making it perfect for finishing fire-cooked plates.
Growing
Prefers well-drained, fertile soil and consistent moisture; fast-growing and best sown successively for a steady harvest throughout the warmer months.
