I was in a store the other day and saw a bag of arugula and it looked similar to these.The stores around here usually just carry the lettuce, cabbage, or coleslaw blends, so I wasn't sure what arugula looked like.

The arugula I buy looks like this: whatever that is I don’t think it is but I’m notoriously bad with plant ID’sA56046DA-D32E-4473-A7A8-B7A94D168163.jpeg

Could be, a little young to be sure.

Arugula is quite peppery; how does this taste? Even when it’s young you should get some bite from it.

At any rate, it’s a brassica, which means it’s fine in moderation.
