Featured Bag Item

Arugula and its health benefits
This week’s featured bag item will be arugula. It appears to be like lettuce but actually is part of the mustard greens family. Arugula is packed with calcium and potassium. It has many health benefits including, but not limited to, osteoporosis prevention, reduced risk of cancer, and good for heart health.
Check out this quick and delicious arugula salad recipe and have fun making it!
