The leaves of the "Wasabi" rocket are dark green in color and offer a crunchy texture with a distinctive pungent taste, similar to that of wasabi. The young raw leaves are tender and perfect for salads, while the cooked leaves can enhance sauces and soups. Its taste is more pronounced than that of the common rocket, with a pleasantly spicy flavor.
This rustic variety is resistant to cold, ideal for sowing in autumn or spring. It prefers a fertile and fresh soil with exposure to full sun or partial shade, and requires regular watering. The first leaves can be harvested only 32 days after sowing, allowing a quick and continuous harvest.
Japanese Arugula "Wasabi" is a great option for home gardeners looking to add a productive and tasty plant to their garden.
