Tony Pasquini / Thursday, May 16, 2024 / Categories: Ingredients At Tony P's We're Crazy for Arugula We put it on our breakfast toasts and panini, our Napoletana pizzas, and in our our salads The benefits of arugala are numerous. Arugula benefits are derived from its high concentrations of vitamin A, vitamin C, and phenolic compounds such as lutein and zeaxanthin. These contain antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which help to improve eye health, control blood sugar levels and prevent the development of cardiovascular diseases. Arugula also contains minerals such as potassium and calcium, which are necessary for regulating blood pressure. This super green also has phosphorus, magnesium and vitamin K, which are essential for maintaining healthy bones. Our favorite salad is with Arugula extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, fresh lemon and Parmigiano Reggiano. Arugula pairs well with nuts, dried and fresh fruits and good olive oil.
