Nutritional benefits of rocket microgreens

Rocket is a good food to eat if you want to keep your body well hydrated as it has a high-water content. It also contains carbohydrates and protein and is a good source of fibre.

Taste and use

Rocket has a bitter taste which makes it the perfect addition to fresh salad, especially if other sweeter ingredients of the salad need to be balanced out.

The leaves can also be ground or minced to use in pesto, sauces and even teas.

These teas can help to relieve a sore throat and can aid relaxation at the end of a stressful day. Rocket is used in the kitchen during the summer months and is perfect as a snack, on bruschetta with cheese, tomato and a touch of olive oil.
