Arugula is an excellent source of
vitamins A and C, folic acid,
calcium, manganese, and
magnesium. It's also a very
good source of potassium, iron,
zinc, riboflavin, and copper.
Arugula and other cruciferous
vegetables contain a group of
anticancer compounds known as
glucosinolates. These
compounds exert antioxidant
activity, and are potent
stimulators of natural detoxifying
enzymes in the body.
