Diplotaxis tenuifolia (Rucola Perena) - biological culture (young plants)

Diplotaxis tenuifolia, also known as wild rocket or perennial rocket, is a perennial plant from the Brassicaceae family. It is originally from the Mediterranean regions and Western Asia, but today it is cultivated in many parts of the world.

This plant is recognized for its lanceolate, toothed leaves, which have a strong, spicy taste, often described as more intense than that of the common rocket (Eruca vesicaria). The leaves are frequently used in salads and other culinary preparations.

The plant produces small, yellow flowers and its seeds are used for propagation. Diplotaxis tenuifolia prefers sunny places and well-drained soils. It is drought resistant and can tolerate poorer soil conditions.

In addition to its culinary use, wild arugula is also appreciated for its nutritional benefits. It is a good source of vitamins (especially vitamin C and group B vitamins), minerals (calcium, iron, potassium) and antioxidants.

It should be noted that while Diplotaxis tenuifolia is generally safe for consumption, some people may be allergic to this plant or may find its intense taste too strong. If you are new to eating wild arugula, it is recommended to start with small amounts and see how your body reacts.
