Arugula is an intriguing leafy green. It tastes spicy in a very natural and groovy way. That makes it a popular addition to salads, but have you thought about potential health benefits?
Its seems odd that a spicy food could help prevent stomach ulcers, but research suggests that.
Researchers at the King Saud University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia found that arugula extracts had anti-ulcer activity in rats!
Arugula (also known as rocket) contains several antioxidants, but researchers believe that the anti-ulcer benefit may come from its ability to mediate prostaglandin activity.
Do you like arugula?
