Marketside Organic Baby Arugula Salad, 5 oz Clam Shell (Fresh)

We have been very happy with this little bin of Arugula offered by Walmart. A few years ago you couldn't buy Arugula in Natchitoches, now several stores offer it, but this is the most reasonable price. To make it last longer, wrap paper towels around the whole lot, so the leaves don't absorb condensation on the plastic bin and go slimey. 😀

I hope Walmart keeps carrying this baby arugula forever, because I like it so much more than other greens, it makes the difference between having a salad only occasionally if I force myself, versus looking forward to it almost every day!!! A lot of people describe arugula as slightly spicy, peppery -I guess I agree, but to me the main flavor is more "nutty", kind of like roasted sunflower seeds. It definitely doesn't have that bitter "plant" flavor that spinach and kale have! And another great thing -when arugula goes bad it simply yellows rather than rots, so you can very easily see and remove an older leaf, rather than have disgusting slime ruin the whole container!
