Arugula is also known as rocket greens, roquette or rucola. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This green leafy veggie has a peppery, spicy flavor and can be found in most grocery stores year round. Aside from being tasty in salads, sandwiches and soups, arugula is rich in a number of nutrients. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let&#8217;s look at arugula&#8217;s nutrition facts, <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/sesame-seeds-calories-benefits-side-effects\/\">health benefits<\/a> and potential side effects.<\/span><\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Arugula_Side_Effects\" target=\"_blank\"><video autoplay=\"autoplay\" loop=\"loop\" muted=\"muted\" playsinline=\"playsinline\" width=\"777\"><source src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ezgif.com-gif-to-mp4-2.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\" \/><\/video><\/a>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Arugula_Nutrition_Facts\"><\/span><strong>Arugula Nutrition Facts<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the USDA database, 1 cup of arugula (20 grams) contains (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fdc.nal.usda.gov\/fdc-app.html#\/food-details\/169387\/nutrients\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">):<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Calories &#8211; 5 kcal<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Protein &#8211; 0.516 g<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fat &#8211; 0.132 g\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carbohydrates &#8211; 0. 73 g<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vitamin K &#8211; 18% of the DV<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Calcium &#8211; 2% of the DV<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vitamin C &#8211; 3% of the DV<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arugula also contains some iron, folate, magnesium, potassium, and provitamin A.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Health_Benefits_Of_Arugula\"><\/span><strong>Health Benefits Of Arugula<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just like other cruciferous vegetables, Arugula has a number of health benefits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rich_In_Disease-Fighting_Compounds\"><\/span><strong>Rich In Disease-Fighting Compounds<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arugula is rich in disease-fighting antioxidants, including <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/health-benefits-of-hemp-seeds\/\">vitamin C<\/a>.

Glucosinolates might be protective against certain types of cancer because they may protect against DNA damage, induce cell death in precancerous cells, and reduce tumor size and number by inducing apoptosis (cell death), among other possible mechanisms (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/food-recipes\/benefits-arugula\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/super-vegetables\/\">Super Vegetables: Fiber And Antioxidant Bombs That Should Be On Your Plate Daily<\/a><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&#038;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Arugula_Side_Effects\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-38987 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Frame-5526-1024x576.png\" alt=\"diet\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Frame-5526.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Frame-5526-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Frame-5526.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Frame-5526.png 1076w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"May_Reduce_Cancer_Risk\"><\/span><strong>May Reduce Cancer Risk<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the American Cancer Society, there are more than 100 different types of cancer, including breast cancer, colorectal cancer, bladder cancer, and ovarian cancer. Researchers believe that a high intake of fruits and vegetables may lower your risk of developing some types of cancer (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/21119663\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The glucosinolates in this vegetable may be beneficial in cancer prevention by inducing apoptosis in cancer cells. Arugula is one of the vegetables that belong to the Brassica genus which has this glucosinolate effect on cancer cells (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cancer.gov\/about-cancer\/causes-prevention\/risk\/diet\/cruciferous-vegetables-fact-sheet\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arugula is rich in beta carotenes, which turn into Vitamin A in the body. According to research, foods high in Vitamin A may reduce tumor growth and prevent metastasis (the spread of cancer cells from one organ or area to another). One study found that higher dietary intakes of vitamin A and carotenoids were associated with lower risk of squamous cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/jamanetwork.com\/journals\/jamadermatology\/fullarticle\/2739070\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arugula contains vitamin C, an antioxidant which protects against cell damage and possibly cancer formation. Some studies have found that higher intakes of vitamin C from the diet (but not supplements) were associated with decreased risk of certain cancers (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4666862\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you eat cruciferous vegetables, your body breaks down the glucosinolates into indoles and isothiocyanates (ITCs). ITCs are phytochemicals that help prevent inflammation and tissue damage, and have potential anticancer activity. ITC-containing foods have been shown in numerous studies to potentially reduce the risk of lung, mouth, stomach, and colorectal cancers (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cancer.gov\/about-cancer\/causes-prevention\/risk\/diet\/cruciferous-vegetables-fact-sheet\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&#038;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Arugula_Side_Effects\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-39880 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/7-6.jpg\" alt=\"arugula side effects\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/7-6.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/7-6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/7-6.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"May_Fight_Inflammation\"><\/span><strong>May Fight Inflammation<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arugula (or rocket) has a high content of many <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/canola-oil-calories\/\">antioxidant<\/a> and anti-inflammatory compounds and may reduce inflammation associated with chronic conditions (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S1756464611000843?via%3Dihub\">5<\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many of the <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/mustard-greens-benefits\/\">bioactive compounds<\/a> found in arugula and other cruciferous and green leafy vegetables have the potential to fight inflammation and oxidative stress (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S1756464611000843?via%3Dihub\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"May_Improve_Gut_Health\"><\/span><strong>May Improve Gut Health<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A diet rich in vegetables, such as arugula,\u00a0 may help restore the vital bacterial balance in your gut, potentially improving health benefits for you.

Avoid bruising by handling arugula gently when washing it in your salad spinner or colander.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To keep your arugula fresh, put the unwashed bunches in spinner bags or wrapped loosely in paper towels inside of your refrigerator&#8217;s crisper drawer. Arugula can last for up to five days when stored properly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many ways to eat arugula.
