Description

Organic Rocket

Organic Rocket seeds, botanical name Eruca vesicaria sativa, are among the most classic in Italian cuisine.
Their microgreens and sprouts are very popular and sought-after for their high calcium content, combined with a unique ease and speed of growth and an unrivalled peppery flavour.


How can I grow it?

Producing organic Rocket sprouts is quick and easy, even at home.
This variety is characterised by a mucilaginous seed: this means that, when it comes into contact with water, it develops a mucous membrane around it to ensure proper and constant moisture throughout germination. We therefore advise you to avoid soaking them: sprinkle them in a container and spray them with water 2/3 times a day, taking care not to create water stagnation which could encourage the appearance of mould.
After just 4/6 days, you will have tender and tasty organic rocket sprouts ready to be enjoyed.


How can I eat it?

Like microgreens, Rocket sprouts have a flavour that is both delicate and pungent, reminiscent of the adult leaf. You can add them to salads, sandwiches and soups or as an accompaniment to main courses of meat, fish and eggs.


Organic Rocket seeds may contain traces of soy, mustard, wheat, gluten and grasses.

Store seeds in a cool and ventilated place, with temperature between 8° and 20° C, away from weather, humidity changes and sunlight.
