The Arugula leaf can be identified by its narrow elongated appearance. With its deep indentations along its length it looks similar to the dandelion leaf. Arugula has a strong flavor with a distinct peppery quality, which comes from the fact that it is part of the mustard family. Arugula's flavor is best when consumed within 3-6 days of the time of harvest.
