sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Wash arugula thoroughly to remove any residual dirt or sand before tossing into your favorite salads. You can lightly sauté it with olive oil to mellow the peppery bite while retaining its nutritional value. Avoid pairing arugula with high-FODMAP cheeses or garlic-infused oils if symptoms are active. Use this green as a fresh pizza topping or blended gently into pesto with basil.
