Baby arugula is harvested when very young. The tender leaves are petite, about 2-3 inches long, with rounded lobes. The flavor is nutty and vegetal, with mild peppery flavors that are less intense than in the mature leaves. While some arugula marketed as “baby arugula” may be considered a “wild arugula” variety botanically, large-scale commercial production of wild arugula seeds yields a product that is less delicate and fragile than true wild arugula, therefore we consider it part of the baby arugula category.
