Organic Arugula Astro
Astro organic arugula seeds produce a plant with leaves that are less lobed and more strap-like. It has a milder flavour than regular arugula.
Astro is perfect for baby greens in early spring and fall - even in winter, as it's very cold hardy, and has a milder flavour when grown in cool weather. Baby greens are ready to cut in only 21 days.
Arugula is very well suited to micro-green growing. As micro-greens it is delicious and tender, strongly flavoured, but delicate on the palate,high in Vitamin A and potassium. With a nutty, spicy taste that is sometimes pungent or peppery, arugula really perks up salads, sandwiches, and even pizza.
