Nutritional values

Rocket salad contains a relatively large amount of folate (folic acid). According to recent studies, this vitamin from the B group can prevent cardiovascular diseases and dementia. Rocket also contains so-called glucosinolates. These aromatic substances are not only responsible for the fine spiciness; they also inhibit the growth of various bacteria, viruses and fungi.

It is best to use rocket as young as possible for pasta with rocket pesto - older, large leaves can take on an unpleasantly bitter taste.
