Rocketルッコラ · Rukkora · ผักร็อกเก็ต

Rocket (Arugula) serves as a potent dietary source of nitrates, which are converted into nitric oxide to improve endothelial function and physical performance. As a cruciferous vegetable, it is rich in erucin, a glucosinolate hydrolysate that exhibits powerful anti-carcinogenic activity by inducing Phase II detoxifying enzymes. Its high Vitamin K content ($210\mu g$) is critical for osteocalcin activation, ensuring calcium is effectively integrated into the bone matrix while preventing soft tissue calcification.

Overview

A peppery cruciferous leaf high in Vitamin K, folate, and glucosinolates that support bone health and liver detoxification.

Food note

Rocket is distinguished by its high folate and Vitamin K levels compared to standard lettuces. Its characteristic peppery flavor is indicative of its isothiocyanate content Which stimulates digestive secretions and improves appetite. For maximum metabolic benefit It should be consumed fresh to prevent the degradation of its temperature-sensitive enzymes and bioactive compounds.
