This variety of arugula from Sicily is very peppery and very delicious, with flavors of black pepper and citrus. Natalie Costa of Winnetuxet Farm grew these seeds for us, and he said: \"It's kinda the most pungent green I've eaten. I just pull up a plant and eat the whole thing. Very refreshing and a good way to get your mouth going!\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's the story: Aurora, a seed keeper in town, brought seeds of this variety (and many others) to a Philadelphia Seed Exchange a few years back (see photos!). Her Uncle Steven is generally dissatisfied with American vegetables, saying, \"they don't taste right.\" He was particularly disappointed by the arugula he tasted here. He said: \"that's not Arugula, THIS is Arugula,\" and gave her these seeds which had originally come from back home in Sicily. We immediately gave them to our friend Natalie since his people also come from Sicily, and we are so glad he was able to share them back with us for the seed catalog!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDays to maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 21-44\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeeds per pack:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeeds per bulk packet:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e approx. 500\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGermination rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003e98% on 08\/31\/2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \/ harvesting notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeed every 1\" in rows 8-12\" apart, 1\/4-1\/2\" deep.
