Arugula

⭐ 4.5

Ancient Greek herbalists and doctors believe that eating salad greens such as lettuce, chicory and arugula were good for the stomach. Dioscorides, a Greek writer in the 1st century AD, praised arugula as "provoking venery”. Lettuce’s name Lactuca stems from the belief that nursing mothers would benefit from its milky juices. Lettuces were also believe to promote sleep, “soporific”, which fans of Beatrix Potter’s tales would believe.
