The tangy classic of Mediterranean cuisine
Salad rocket (Eruca sativa) is a real all-rounder in the garden and on the plate. It owes its distinctive, nutty and tangy flavour to the mustard oils it contains, making it the perfect ingredient for salads, pizza or pesto. Rocket is surprisingly undemanding and grows so quickly that you can almost watch it grow – perfect for anyone looking for a quick harvest with minimal effort.
• Certified organic seeds – sustainable and environmentally friendly.
• Contents: 2.5g of seeds per packet
- Lightning-fast harvest: Much like radishes, rocket has a very short growing season and is often ready to harvest after just a few weeks.
- Year-round cultivation: Can be grown outdoors, in a greenhouse or even on a windowsill (protect from frost).
- Low-maintenance: Has minimal soil requirements and is ideal for gardening beginners.
Growing & Planning
Rocket is an easy-to-grow plant for beds and balconies. Here are the key details for growing it:
- Lifespan: Annual
- Heat requirement: Moderate
- Nutrient requirement: Low
- Sowing depth: 1–2 cm
- Spacing within the row: 15 cm
- Spacing between rows: 25–30 cm
- Botanical name: Eruca sativa
Tips for success
- Sowing: Direct sowing into the bed or pot is preferable, as the plant does not particularly like being potted on.
- Harvesting tips: To have fresh rocket all summer long, it is advisable to resow in small batches every 2–3 weeks.
- Flavour tips: Did you know that the leaves taste more intense and pungent the sunnier the spot?
Culinary uses
Rocket is much more than just a salad garnish:
- Eaten fresh: A classic in mixed salads or on its own with olive oil and Parmesan.
- Topping: Add to the pizza only after baking to preserve the essential oils.
- Pesto: A fiery alternative to classic basil pesto.
- Herb: Finely chopped in quark or over pasta dishes.
