🌿 Fresh Wild Rocket – Peppery, Tender & Full of Flavour

Our Fresh Peppery Wild Rocket Leaves have tender green leaves and a distinctive peppery flavour with subtle nutty and mustard-like notes. Also known as arugula, rocket brings considerably more character than milder salad leaves.

Toss it into fresh salads, layer it into sandwiches and wraps, scatter it over pizza after baking or stir it through warm pasta and risotto just before serving.

Its bold flavour pairs beautifully with Parmesan, mozzarella, tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, citrus, pears and extra virgin olive oil.

Fresh. Peppery. Vibrant. A salad leaf with real character. 🌿✨
