Buying and storing tips

Arugula is available all year long, and is at its peak from June through December. Arugula can be found in the produce section of most health food stores, specialty markets, and supermarkets. It’s usually sold in small bunches, with the roots intact. Look for bright green, fresh-looking leaves with no sign of wilting or browning, and fresh clean roots. Store arugula in a plastic bag in the refrigerator, and use it within a couple of days.
